In neonates, cardiac arrhythmias are rare. Electric countershock therapy is an effective alternative to drug therapy for neonatal arrhythmias. There are no randomized controlled studies investigating ...
To identify all studies and publications describing electric countershock therapy (including defibrillation, cardioversion, and pacing) in newborn infants within 28 days after birth, and to provide a ...
For this systematic review we searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL). All articles re...
In terms of figures, 113 neonates who received electric countershock due to arrhythmias were reported. Atrial flutter (76.1%) was the most common arrhythmia, followed by supraventricular tachycardia (...
Electric countershock therapy is an effective treatment option in the neonatal period. In atrial flutter especially, excellent outcomes are reported with direct synchronized electric cardioversion....
This study aimed to assess neonatologists' experience and comfort with neonatal electrical cardioversion or defibrillation (EC-D)....
Electronic surveys were distributed to academic neonatologists affiliated with 12 Midwest academic hospitals. Neonatologists were asked about their residency training; years since completing residency...
Seventy-two out of 180 neonatologists responded to the survey (response rate = 40%). Of them, 98.6% (71), 54.2% (39), and 37.5% (27) maintained current NRP, BLS, and PALS trainings, respectively. Also...
Of neonatologists who performed EC-D, half of them reported being uncomfortable. BLS certification and experience are positively associated with comfort in performing EC-D. Simulations to increase tra...
· Most neonatologists have performed EC-D, but many feel uncomfortable with performing EC-D.. · Many do not maintain current certification in BLS, PALS, or ACLS.. · Simulation training in EC-D will in...
Electrical cardioversion (ECV) is a common procedure to terminate persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). The recurrence rate is high, and the patients often fail to recognize AF recurrence....
The aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of patient-managed electrocardiography (ECG) to detect the time to AF recurrence after ECV....
PRE-ELECTRIC (predictors for recurrence of atrial fibrillation after electrical cardioversion) is a prospective, observational study. Patients ≥18 years of age scheduled for ECV of persistent AF at Bæ...
The study enrolled 200 patients scheduled for ECV of persistent AF at Bærum Hospital between 2018 and 2022. The mean age was 66.2 ± 9.3 years, and 21.0% (42/200) were women. The most frequent comorbid...
Recurrence of AF after ECV was common. Using patient-managed thumb ECG was a feasible method to detect AF recurrence following ECV. Further studies are needed to investigate whether patient-managed EC...
To study the association between timing and success of electrical cardioversion (ECV) for the treatment of early recurrences (ERs) of atrial fibrillation post pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) on long-te...
Data of 133 patients ablated for paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation receiving ECV for ERs, i.e., atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrences within 90 days post ablation were analyzed. During 1-year ...
In 114 patients (85.7%), ECV was successful compared to 19 patients (14.3%) with failed ECV. A higher body mass index (odds ratio (OR) 1.19 (95% CI 1.02-1.39), p = 0.029), a lower left ventricular eje...
A failed ECV and performance of ECV > 7 days from ER onset were independently associated with LR....
Atrial fibrillation (AF) adversely impacts right ventricular (RV) and right atrial (RA) structure and function. There are limited data on these changes after electrical cardioversion (ECV) and the rel...
Right cardiac chamber dimensions and RV function were measured in 64 patients using transthoracic echocardiography 1-2 h before, immediately after, and 4-6 weeks after ECV. Associations between change...
For patients who remained in sinus rhythm 4-6 weeks after ECV (n = 48), median fractional area change (FAC) at baseline, immediately after ECV, and 4-6 weeks after ECV were 39 (Q1:35, Q3:42) %, 42 (Q1...
Among AF patients who remained in sinus rhythm after ECV, RV function improved immediately after ECV with further improvement at 4-6 weeks following sinus rhythm restoration....
Electrical cardioversion (ECV) a widely utilized intervention for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) aimed at restoring sinus rhythm. However, ECV can be ineffective, raising questions about subseque...
Atrial fibrillation (AF)/atrial flutter is common during cardiac amyloidosis (CA). Electrical cardioversion (EC) is a strategy to restore sinus rhythm (SR). However, left atrial thrombus (LAT) represe...
All patients with CA and AF/atrial flutter referred for the first time to our national referral centre of amyloidosis for EC from June 2017 to February 2021 were included in this study. In total, 66 p...
Left atrial thrombus was observed in 14% of CA patients listed for EC and mainly treated with DOAC. The acute EC success rate was high with no complication. The long-term EC success rate was acceptabl...
Several studies have shown an independent relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, little is known about the influence of BMI on AF recurrence...
We selected 1121 patients who reverted to sinus rhythm after scheduled ECV and were included in three prospective Spanish registries of ECV in persistent AF. The patients were classified according to ...
We identified 538 patients (48%) who had AF recurrence in the first 3 months after successful ECV. The patients who suffered AF recurrence had a higher BMI than those who remained in sinus rhythm (29....
Increased BMI is independently related to AF recurrence after ECV. BMI should also be taken into account when making decisions about the indication for ECV in persistent AF....
Aim The primary aim was to ascertain long-term rates of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence in this all-comer patient population undergoing elective electrical cardioversion (DCR). Secondary aims incl...
Atrial fibrillation (AF)-induced peripheral microcirculatory alterations have poorly been investigated. The present study aims to expand current knowledge through a beat-to-beat analysis of non-invasi...
