DOI: 10.1002/clc.22931
Abstract: Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart‐rhythm disorder, affecting about 1.5% to 2% of the population with an increased risk of mortality and morbidity due to stroke, thromboembolism, and heart failure. If the conversion back… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.14082
Abstract: 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) represents a contraindication for EC. CA patients with AF/atrial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2018.01.016
Abstract: BACKGROUND Implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) shocks can cause myocardial injury, contributing to the progression of the underlying heart disease. The aim was to evaluate whether internal electrical cardioversion (int-CV) via the ICD or conventional external CV… read more here.
