Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of uneventful cardioversion and maintenance of sinus rhythm from direct-current electrical cardioversion of chronic atrial fibrillation and flutter.
TL;DR: Patients having a high probability of conversion together with a prolonged post-shock arrhythmia-free episode can be identified and this may improve the cost-benefit ratio of cardioversion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-Dose Amiodarone for Maintenance of Sinus Rhythm After Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation or Flutter
A. T. M. Gosselink,Harry J.G.M. Crijns,I. C. Van Gelder,H. Hillige,Ans C.P. Wiesfeld,Kong I. Lie +5 more
TL;DR: Low-dose amiodarone is effective for maintaining sinus rhythm in patients with difficult to treat chronic atrial fibrillation or flutter and is associated with a low incidence of serious side effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time Course of Hemodynamic Changes and Improvement of Exercise Tolerance After Cardioversion of Chronic Atrial Fibrillation Unassociated With Cardiac Valve Disease
I. C. Van Gelder,Harry J.G.M. Crijns,Paul K. Blanksma,M.L.J. Landsman,J. L. Posma,M.P. van den Berg,F.L. Meijler,Kong I. Lie +7 more
TL;DR: Restoration of sinus rhythm was associated with a delayed improvement in ejection fraction and maximal exercise capacity, preceded by an early restoration of atrial contractility and an acute slowing of the heart rate, suggesting that an intrinsic left ventricular cardiomyopathy is present in patients with AF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy and safety of flecainide acetate in the maintenance of sinus rhythm after electrical cardioversion of chronic atrial-fibrillation or atrial-flutter
Isabelle C. Van Gelder,Harry J.G.M. Crijns,Wiek H. van Gilst,Leendert M. van Wijk,Hans P.M. Hamer,Kong I. Lie +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the efficacy and safety of flecainide were studied in the maintenance of sinus rhythm after electrical cardioversion for chronic atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence and clinical significance of ST segment elevation after electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter.
Isabelle C. Van Gelder,Isabelle C. Van Gelder,Harry J.G.M. Crijns,Harry J.G.M. Crijns,Arnoud van der Laarse,Arnoud van der Laarse,Wiek H. van Gilst,Wiek H. van Gilst,Kong I. Lie,Kong I. Lie +9 more
TL;DR: Results of this study show that postcardioversion ST segment elevation occurs predominantly in postpericardiotomy patients and may be associated with an unfavorable arrhythmia prognosis.
