Atrial septal defects (ASD) may lead to supraventricular arrhythmias, notably atrial flutter and fibrillation, as a consequence of right atrial volume overload resulting from left-to-right shunting, ...

In 34 of the 93 patients in whom cardioversion was attempted, the procedure was performed during anticoagulant therapy. Following restoration of sinus rhythm, two patients experienced thromboembolic ...

I need help. Here is a common case that causes me great consternation. It is one that brings two worthy philosophies into the ring. In one corner is the ever-virtuous minimally disruptive philosophy.

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 ...
