Of 95 patients receiving transthoracic shocks for atrial flutter in the emergency department, about half were treated with a defibrillator that delivered monophasic-waveform shocks and the rest ...

Cardioversion, they said, may be complicated with thromboembolism. Therefore, they recommended anticoagulation to be considered in patients with atrial flutter who are candidates for cardioversion.

Ibutilide for pharmacological cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and flutter: impact of race on efficacy and safety. 2003;10:259-263. Clin Cardiol. 34.

Another DC cardioversion and radiofrequency ablation of the right-atrial isthmus successfully treated atrial flutter. Sinus rhythm was maintained 2 months later, and amiodarone was stopped.

Atrial flutter, a similar arrhythmia, is much easier to ablate than atrial fibrillation; thus, we are more aggressive proceeding right to ablation for atrial flutter.

We conclude that infants with atrial flutter alone, following cardioversion, do not require chronic prophylaxis.

Use of catheter ablation is not only beneficial for treating atrial flutter but also can significantly reduce hospital visits – both inpatient and emergency – and lower the risk for atrial ...

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

RESTORE SR to study efficacy and safety of vanoxerine in atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) patients, results expected in the second half of 2016 LA JOLLA, Calif., Laguna ...

Find out how cardioversion restores normal heart rhythms in patients with atrial fibrillation. Understand the procedure, its benefits, and what to expect during recovery.

Use of catheter ablation is not only beneficial for treating atrial flutter but also can significantly reduce hospital visits -- both inpatient and emergency -- and lower the risk for atrial ...
