Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence Predictors after Conversion to Sinus Rhythm
PURPOSE We aimed to identify predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence after conversion to sinus rhythm. MATERIAL/METHODS We included 100 patients with a history of documented atrial fibrillation in the last 12 months that were assessed by transthoracic echocardiography, 12-lead electrocardiogram and signal averaged electrocardiogram of the P wave. Follow-up was 7.3 ± 2.2 months. RESULTS...
متن کاملPharmacological and electrical conversion of atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm: Is it worth it? Pharmacological and Electrical Conversion of Atrial Fibrillation to Sinus Rhythm Is Worth the Effort
Current treatment guidelines for atrial fibrillation (AF) base decisions on the triad of prevention of symptoms and protection from stroke and tachycardia-mediated cardiomyopathy. Conceptually, all of these objectives could be satisfied by either timely cardioversion and subsequent rhythm control, or the admittedly easier (for the patient and the physician) rate control strategy. We feel strong...
متن کاملAlterations in cardiac function immediately following electrical conversion of atrial fibrillation to normal sinus rhythm.
SUMMARY An assessment was made of cardiac function by means of right heart catheterization before and immediately after conversion of atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm in 11 studies on 10 human subjects. Comparable data during exercise were available in five studies. Medical management of patients in this study was identical to that employed routinely for this procedure. After conversion to n...
متن کاملHaemodynamic studies before and after electrical conversion of atrial fibrillation and flutter to sinus rhythm.
The clinical use of direct current shock in the management of cardiac arrhythmias (Lown, Amarasingham, and Neuman, 1962) has been amply confirmed by many other workers (O'Brien, Resnekov, and McDonald, 1964; Oram et al., 1964; Morris et al., 1964b). The length of time that sinus rhythm persists after the electrical conversion of chronic arrhythmias is often disappointingly short, even when quin...
متن کاملEmbolic stroke, sinus rhythm and left atrial mechanical function.
A 64-year-old man manifested a stroke two years after restoration of sinus rhythm through a radiofrequency catheter ablation. Transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated the presence of a thrombus in the left atrial appendage. Left atrial volumes and different parameters of atrial emptying showed that, despite the persistence of the sinus rhythm, atrial mechanical function was severely impair...
