A prospective comparison of cardiac imaging using intracardiac echocardiography with transesophageal echocardiography in patients with atrial fibrillation: the intracardiac echocardiography guided cardioversion helps interventional procedures study.
BACKGROUND The Intracardiac Echocardiography Guided Cardioversion Helps Interventional Procedures study evaluated the concordance of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with AF undergoing right heart catheterization underwent left atrium (LA) and interatrial septal (IAS) imaging...
متن کاملFunctional Tricuspid Regurgitation Caused by Chronic Atrial Fibrillation: A Real-Time 3-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography Study.
BACKGROUND Functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) with a structurally normal tricuspid valve (TV) may occur secondary to chronic atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the clinical and echocardiographic differences according to functional TR subtypes are unclear. Therefore, characterization of functional TR because of chronic AF (AF-TR) remains undetermined. METHODS AND RESULTS To investigate th...

524 the use of new oral anticoagulants (NOACs; dabi gatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban), to be taken for 3 weeks prior to cardioversion, just as in the case of vitamin K antagonists (VKAs). In clinical practice, a significant number of pa tients admitted to undergo DCC are not prop erly treated with oral anticoagulants (OACs).3,4 Scheduled patients have a nontherapeutic level of Int...
متن کامل[A prospective protocol increases oral anticoagulant prescription in patients with chronic, nonvalvular atrial fibrillation].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Observational studies have shown that oral anticoagulants (OAC) prescription is suboptimal in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Our objective was to evaluate the usefulness of a prospective protocol for increasing OAC usage in these patients. PATIENTS AND METHOD From 1 February 2000 until 31 October 2002 we enrolled all patients with chronic NVA...
