High Resolution Multi-parametric Diagnostics and Therapy of Atrial Fibrillation: Chasing Arrhythmia Vulnerabilities in the Spatial Domain
… respond well to such treatments.</p><p>There are electrical cardioversion options but there is not a practical implanted deployment</p><p>of this strategy. Under the current bioelectric therapy paradigm there is a trade-off between</p><p>efficacy and the pain and risk of myocardial damage, all of …

Atrial Arrhythmogenic Substrates: The Role of Structure and Molecular Remodeling
… risks and potential pro-arrhythmic side effects. Electrical cardioversion, on the other hand, is extremely effective in terminating these arrhythmias, but the high-energy shocks required for termination cause substantial pain to the patient. In this dissertation, we first investigate the …

Circulating progenitor cells in atrial fibrillation: Relationship to endothelial dysfunction, thrombogenesis and inflammation
… the impact of restoration of sinus rhythm using electrical cardioversion on these indices and the relevance of the AF arrhythmia burden in influencing these markers is investigated. In conclusion, the endothelium seems to be a central link through which all three components of Virchow’s triad …

VALUTAZIONE DI UNA COMPONENTE A BASSA FREQUENZA DELLA VARIABILITÀ DELLA PRESSIONE ARTERIOSA SISTOLICA IN PAZIENTI CON FIBRILLAZIONE ATRIALE PERSISTENTE E SUA SUCCESSIVA ULTERIORE VALUTAZIONE MEDIANTE LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS
… before and after restoration of sinus rhythm by electrical cardioversion. A low frequency (LF) component (central frequency 0.07±0.02 Hz, mean±standard deviation) of SAP variability was observed in 23 out of 26 patients during AF. Frequency analysis of DAP and MAP also showed a LF component with …

Myocardial creatine metabolism in experimental infarction and heart failure
… gas anaesthesia, and treatment of MVA with electrical cardioversion, the mortality in the rat model of acute MI is decreased by ~70 %. In the rat model of Cr depletion we show that lack of myocardial Cr leads to disturbances in metabolism, morphology and function of the heart, similar to …

Atrial fibrillation – on its trigger mechanisms, risks and consequences
… with persistent AF underwent elective DC cardioversion and analysis of 5 minutes ECG recordings was made in those converted to sinus rhythm (SR). Another 213 patients were followed for 6±3 years after AVJA. Forty-nine of the patients (23%) were known to have HF before AVJA, and aggravated …
