Cardiac troponin T does not increase after electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether cardiac troponin T increases after electrical cardioversion in patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. DESIGN Serum creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase-MB (CKMB), and cardiac troponin T were measured before, 24 hours, and 48 hours after cardioversion in 15 patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. RESULTS 12 of the 15 patients (80%) w...

متن کاملLeft ventricular diastolic function after electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation.
In chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) left ventricular function may gradually diminish as a result of an intrinsic tachycardiomyopathy. This tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy is characterised by decreased systolic function, ventricular dilation, and raised ventricular filling pressures. In such patients left ventricular systolic function may gradually improve after electrical cardioversion. Litt...
متن کاملPharmacological cardioversion for atrial fibrillation and flutter*
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation is the commonest cardiac dysrhythmia. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. There are two approaches to the management of atrial fibrillation: controlling the ventricular rate or converting to sinus rhythm in the expectation that this would abolish its adverse effects. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of pharmacological cardioversion of atri...
متن کاملA Difficult Case Of Left Atrial Flutter.
A 55-year-old male was referred for a third ablation procedure because of recurrent atrial fibrillation. During re-isolation of the inferior right pulmonary vein the patient developed an atypical flutter with an clockwise activation pattern around the mitral annulus. Linear ablation at the left mitral isthmus transformed but did not terminate the tachycardia. The cavotricuspid isthmus proved to...
