During cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR),defibrillation,or cardioversion,the use of self-adhesive pads instead of conventional paddles has gradually become common.In particular,it was recommended during the COVID-19 ...
BACKGROUND Anderson-Fabry disease(AFD)is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder that results from a deficiency ofα-galactosidase A enzyme activity in which glycosphingolipids gradually accumulate in multi-organ syste...
This case report highlights a recent case in the Rotunda Hospital of a patient of 33 weeks’ gestation with fast atrial fibrillation. She had an unusual presentation given that she had no prior cardiac history or obvi...
Atrial fibrillation(AF) is a common arrhythmia with rising incidence.Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) is prevalent among patients with AF.This observation has prompted significant research in understanding the relationshi...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is estimated that by 2010, approximately 2.6 million people will be affected in USA;by 2050, that number may increase to 10 million patients. Generally, rate control alone is reasonable in som...

Background Long-term maintenance of sinus rhythm after successful conversion of chronic atrial fibrillation (CAF), often ameliorates patients' symptoms, reduces the risk of ischemic stroke and improves cardiovascul...
Background Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is the only effective therapy in patients with life threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Inappropriate detection and therapy by ICDs are the most common causes...
Objective To identify predictors of left atrial appendage stunning after the use of electrical cardioversion to restore sinus rhythm in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Methods A total of 68 consecutive...
Objective To determine the feasibility and efficiency of terminating atrial flutter (AFL) and atrial fibrillation (AF) using synchronous low-energy shocks delivered through a novel transesophageal electric balloon ele...
