Transvenous Temporary Cardiac Pacing

TL;DR: Doctors involved in the management of critically ill patients suffering from rhythm disturbances and associated hemodynamic compromise should always keep in mind the indications and contraindications of transvenous temporary cardiac pacing, and should be at least familiar with the insertion technique and the post- insertion care.

Oral propafenone for rapid conversion of recent onset atrial fibrillation--a review.

TL;DR: A single 600 mg oral dose of propafenone is highly effective at restoring sinus rhythm in patients with acute onset atrial fibrillation with few adverse effects.

Transesophageal Overdrive Pacing: A Simple and Versatile Tool

TL;DR: Transesophageal atrial overdrive pacing was proposed and performed as a bedside procedure with successful conversion of atrial flutter into sinus rhythm.
Journal ArticleDOI

The use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnostic workup and treatment of atrial fibrillation.

TL;DR: A focused review of the value of CMR in identifying the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of AF, its role in stroke prevention and in the guidance of radiofrequency catheter ablation reveals a promising technique that could add valuable information for therapeutic decision making in specific subpopulations with AF.

Failure of hybrid therapy for the prevention of long-term recurrence of atrial fibrillation

TL;DR: Hybrid therapy was not effective for long-term control of atrial fibrillation and the clinical outcomes were similar for AAD-AF1 patients and patients with coexistent AF and AFl.
