Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – National budget only. Main source(s): Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development Introduction In the Rate Control versus Electrical Cardioversion Trial 7–Acute Wait See, patients with recent-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) were randomised to either early or delayed cardioversion. Purpose This pre-specified sub-analysis aimed evaluate heart rate during AF recurrences after an emergency department (ED) visit identified by electrocardiogram (ECG)-based handheld device. Methods After ED visit, included (n=437) asked use ECG-based device monitor four-week follow-up period. 335 used in this analysis. Recordings from collected assessed rhythm rate. Optimal control was defined as a target resting <110 bpm. Results 99 (29.6%, mean age 67±10 years, 39.4% female, median 6 [3-12] recordings) total 314 (median 2 [1-3] per patient) follow-up. The average at recurrence 100±21 bpm vs 112±25 cardioversion group (p=0.011). Additionally, maximum also significantly lower (115 [94-131] 136 [118-147], p=0.001). seen 68.4% [21.3-100%] performed recordings patient delayed, 33.3% [0-77.5%] (p=0.01). Randomisation (coefficient -12.09 (-20.55 - -3.63, p=0.006) cardioversion) on index ECG 0.46 (0.29-0.63, p<0.001) increase) multivariable adjusted factors associated recurrences. Conclusion A strategy translated into rates well peak Apart randomized treatment, influenced intrinsic presentation.

Ventricular fibrillation during electrical cardioversion of pre-excited atrial fibrillation.
The Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome can rarely present with pre-excited atrial fibrillation. In this condition the short refractory period of the accessory pathway can lead to rapid atrioventricular conduction. There is then a danger that at high heart rates the irregular broad complex tachycardia that results can deteriorate into ventricular fibrillation. The initial management of patients pres...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and it is an independent risk for serious events. Acupuncture has been growing in popularity in the West, and there are reports of its benefits in treating AF. We report a 57-year-old man who was admitted after having an allergic reaction to amiodarone administered to treat paroxysmal AF with fast ventricular response. Cardioversion with in...
