Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac cause of systemic embolism and cardioembolic stroke. The risk of thromboembolic complications increases significantly when performing for electrical cardioversion. Vitamin K antagonists (warfarin) more often used to prepare for electrical cardiover...

The paper presents a description of the diagnosis and treatment of takotsubo syndrome in a patient with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after electrical cardioversion. A case report clearly reflects the need for an integrated diagnostic approach to verify the diagnosis using dynamic echocardiography,...

The objective was to analyze modern approaches to the use of electrical and pharmacological cardioversion in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF).Materials and methods. A non-systematic literature review was conducted. Russian publications were searched in the eLibrary database, and int...

The article discusses the issues of anticoagulant preparation for elective electrical cardioversion in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation. Updated preparation regimens for electrical cardioversion are proposed, as well as the potential of using direct oral anticoagulants for this purpose i...

The paper focuses on the effectiveness and safety of bi- and monophase defibrillators in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. In bi-phase defibrillator cardioversion, sinus rhythm was restored more often, and total defibrillation energy was substantially lower than in monophase defibrillato...

Aim. To evaluate the effect of blood concentrations of biomarkers of inflammation and fibrosis, obesity parameters, and parameters characterizing cardiac remodeling on the risk of recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) within 6 months after elective electrical cardioversion (ECV) in patients with metabo...

Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of cavutilide in patients with a history of unsuccessful cardioversion to terminate current persistent and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) episode.Material and methods. The retrospective study included 55 patients (mean age 60±8 years; male/female ra...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia, which has a significant impact on the health of patients worldwide. Left atrial fibrosis (LAF) is considered an irreversible form of remodeling that occurs in response to inflammation, stretching, or overload of the left atrium....

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common tachyarrhythmia complicating ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), while ventricular arrhythmias (VA) can, not only be accompanied by a hemodynamic disorder, but in some cases, worsen its prognosis. The article presents a modern view on risk...
