Of 95 patients receiving transthoracic shocks for atrial flutter in the emergency department, about half were treated with a defibrillator that delivered monophasic-waveform shocks and the rest were ...

May 2, 2003 - A retrospective study and results of a phase 3 trial point to new approaches to both short-term cardioversion and long-term maintenance of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).

Guidelines recommend a trial of antiarrhythmic drugs before catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. Whether pulsed field ablation (PFA) may be a preferred initial treatment is ...

Many authorities recommend digoxin for one year for atrial flutter (AT.FL) in infants with normal structural hearts. To re-examine this recommendation the electrocardiogram, response to programmed ...

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

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 sinus ...
