Outcome of direct current cardioversion for atrial arrhythmias in adults with congenital heart disease

TL;DR: DCCV with appropriate anticoagulation is safe and effective for patients with CHD, even in the presence of an intracardiac shunt and spontaneous contrast on TEE, however, the recurrence rate is substantial.
Journal ArticleDOI

A minimally invasive Cox maze IV procedure is as effective as sternotomy while decreasing major morbidity and hospital stay

TL;DR: The Cox maze IV procedure performed through a right minithoracotomy is as effective as sternotomy in the treatment of atrial fibrillation and is associated with fewer complications, decreased mortality and decreased length of stay in the intensive care unit and hospital length ofStay.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human electrophysiological and pharmacological properties of XEN-D0101: a novel atrial-selective Kv1.5/IKur inhibitor.

TL;DR: XEN-D0101 significantly prolonged the atrial action potential duration at 20%, 50%, and 90% of repolarization (AF tissue only) and significantly elevated the atrian action potential plateau phase and increased contractility (SR and AF tissues) while having no effect on human ventricular action potentials.

Impact of body mass index on atrial fibrillation recurrence: a meta-analysis of observational studies.

TL;DR: A meta‐analysis was conducted to explore the association between elevated BMI and AF recurrence in patients undergoing catheter ablation and found no relationship between BMI and atrial fibrillation.
