Endurance athletes may be at increased risk for lone atrial fibrillation. 1–5 We describe a middle-aged physician athlete with paroxysmal lone atrial fibrillation in whom cardioversion consistently ...

A team of Ochsner Health cardiologists recently published an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Cardiology comparing two treatment strategies for patients with atrial ...

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 ...

Precardioversion monitoring with smartphone photoplethysmography reduces same-day cardioversion cancellations for patients with AF.

Introduction: There is insufficient evidence on the efficacy and safety of pharmacological cardioversion of recent‑onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in elderly patients. Antazoline has been shown to be ...

A multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial confirms that both chemical-first and electrical-first approaches are effective strategies for acute atrial fibrillation; however, an ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF or afib) involves abnormal electrical activity in the upper chambers (atria) of your heart, which causes the organ to beat quickly and irregularly. This abnormal beating ...

Management of AF from a rate control or rhythm control perspective has been studied via a meta-analysis of 5 randomized trials. 7 Rate control in combination with anticoagulation as front-line ...

However, several factors confound the role of inflammation in generation and perpetuation of AF. As an example, failure to show a correlation between baseline hsCRP levels and maintenance of sinus ...
