Cardioversion is a procedure used to restore a normal heart rhythm. It’s most often used to treat AFib, the most common type of heart arrhythmia. While some people have success with medications, most ...

Cardiologists at University of Utah Health use this therapy for people with heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias), including atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation (AFib). Your heart’s electrical ...

IV obesity and atrial fibrillation or flutter, achieving a 92.3% success rate without any airway events, a study finds.

PHILADELPHIA, PA—For patients with obesity who are undergoing electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation (AF), delivering twice the energy with a simultaneous dual approach is a better option ...

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a kind of irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia. A problem with the electrical signals that control your heart’s pumping action causes it to beat too fast in a pattern that ...

The 204 people randomized to IV procainamide (plus electrical cardioversion if necessary, with up to three shocks) showed a 96% rate of conversion to sinus rhythm that was maintained for at least 30 ...

Direct current cardioversion for symptomatic atrial fibrillation or flutter is feasible and safe in patients implanted with the Watchman left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion device, even in the ...

Background: Several clinical factors have been studied to predict atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after electrical cardioversion (ECV) with limited predictive value. Methods: A method able to ...

Electrical cardioversion without routine extra anticoagulation around the procedure may be feasible for people who've already received left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion, according to a small ...

Hubner and colleagues in the UK have recently described a simplified cardioversion service that has significantly reduced waiting times at their center. They have introduced intravenous midazolam ...
