Orlando, FL - Direct-current cardioversion of atrial flutter is more likely to achieve sinus rhythm with one shock and will use fewer joules if the cardioversion system delivers biphasic rather ...

Cardioversion, they said, may be complicated with thromboembolism. Therefore, they recommended anticoagulation to be considered in patients with atrial flutter who are candidates for cardioversion.

Ibutilide for pharmacological cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and flutter: impact of race on efficacy and safety. 2003;10:259-263. Clin Cardiol. 34.

We conclude that infants with atrial flutter alone, following cardioversion, do not require chronic prophylaxis.

Patients with recent-onset atrial fibrillation commonly undergo immediate restoration of sinus rhythm by pharmacologic or electrical cardioversion. However, whether immediate restoration of sinus r ...

Atrial flutter, a similar arrhythmia, is much easier to ablate than atrial fibrillation; thus, we are more aggressive proceeding right to ablation for atrial flutter.

Use of catheter ablation is not only beneficial for treating atrial flutter but also can significantly reduce hospital visits – both inpatient and emergency – and lower the risk for atrial ...

Find out how cardioversion restores normal heart rhythms in patients with atrial fibrillation. Understand the procedure, its benefits, and what to expect during recovery.

RESTORE SR to study efficacy and safety of vanoxerine in atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) patients, results expected in the second half of 2016 LA JOLLA, Calif., Laguna ...

When atrial flutter is seen with such a slow ventricular response (in this case, 9:1 conduction), there is concern for underlying complete heart block should the patient be restored to normal ...

The role of inflammation in maintenance of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in patients with hypertension and no other heart disease has not been fully elucidated yet.
