The American College of Cardiology (ACC), American Heart Association, and the European Society of Cardiology define atrial fibrillation (AF) as a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia characterized by ...

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

I need help. Here is a common case that causes me great consternation. It is one that brings two worthy philosophies into the ring. In one corner is the ever-virtuous minimally disruptive philosophy.

Early stroke and systemic embolism rates in patients following cardioversion for atrial fibrillation (A-fib) are low and comparable between those receiving warfarin or the novel oral anticoagulant ...

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 ...

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 ...
