Aim of the study: to evaluate the impact of dual defibrillator implantation on quality of life and
resource utilization in patients with drug refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) without prior …

Single chamber (SC) implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have several limitations
that might be relevant during follow-up, like atrial pacing requirements, inadequate …

Since the management of atrial fibrillation may be difficult in the individual patient, our
purpose was to develop simple clinical recommendations to help the general internist …

Acceptability of the atrial defibrillator is partly limited by concerns about shock related
anxiety and discomfort. Sedation and/or automatic cardioversion therapy during sleep may …

Introduction: Atrial defibrillation can be achieved with standard implantable cardioverter
defibrillator (ICD) leads, but the optimal shocking configuration is unknown. The objective of …

Background: The effects of atrial internal cardioversion on QT interval and QT dispersion
(parameters associated with increased risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias) are unknown …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a higher incidence of mortality, stroke, and coronary
events than is sinus rhythm. AF with a rapid ventricular rate may cause a tachycardia-related …

At the dawn of the twenty-first century, atrial fibrillation (AF), recognized as a distinct rhythm
since the first decade of the twentieth century (1), remains one of the greater challenges …

Restoration of sinus rhythm after successful cardioversion of AF is often followed by
recurrences of AF. Some recurrences called immediate recurrences may occur within 1 or 2 …
