Cardiac output after direct current conversion of atrial fibrillation.
There is scant agreement regarding the effect on cardiac output of conversion of atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm. Some workers have reported a considerable increase in resting cardiac output; others have found no change. The interval between conversion and the repeat measurement of cardiac output has varied widely. In general, measurements made within a few hours of conversion have shown li...
متن کاملConversion of Atrial Fibrillation by Direct Current Counter Shock.
The adverse effects of atrial fibrillation on the circulation are well known. It reduces cardiac output and stroke volume (Kory and Meneely, 1951; Broch and Muller, 1957), may lead to cardiac dilatation and failure (Phillips and Levine, 1949), and is associated with a high risk of systemic embolization (Sokolow, 1951; Fraser and Turner, 1955). Unfortunately, attempts to restore sinus rhythm wit...
متن کاملSotalol versus quinidine for the maintenance of sinus rhythm after direct current conversion of atrial fibrillation.
This open, parallel-group study compares quinidine and sotalol treatment for maintenance of sinus rhythm after direct current conversion of patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. The patients from 15 centers in Sweden were randomized to sotalol (98 patients) or quinidine (85 patients) after 2 hours of sinus rhythm after direct current conversion. According to primary efficacy assessment, 52...
متن کاملThe long term prognosis of atrial fibrillation following direct current conversion.
WITH the introduction of direct current countershock (Lown et al. 1962) a simple, safe and effective method of converting atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm became available. A detailed account of the technique used here, the indications for its use, the success rate achieved and the hazards encountered has been published (Pantridge and Halmos 1965). While the immediate results of D.C. convers...
متن کاملAmiodarone after unsuccessful direct-current cardioversion of persistent atrial fibrillation.
AIM To assess the safety and efficacy of amiodarone used after unsuccessful direct current (DC) cardioversion of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS The study group comprised 67 patients (F/M 26/41; mean age 61.3+/-11.2 years) after unsuccessful DC cardioversion (DCC) of persistent AF (mean arrhythmia duration 212.6+/-135.2 days) in whom another attempt of DCC was intended. Repeat DC...
