Cardiologists at University of Utah Health use this therapy for people with heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias), including atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation (AFib). Your heart’s electrical ...

Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation (AFib) both occur when the electrical signals that make your heart chambers contract occur faster than normal. However, they differ in how this electrical ...

Direct current cardioversion for symptomatic atrial fibrillation or flutter is feasible and safe in patients implanted with the Watchman left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion device, even in the ...

When your electrical system is working normally, the two upper chambers of the heart (atria) contract and pump blood into the two lower chambers (ventricles) in a well-coordinated way. This results in ...

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a kind of irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia. A problem with the electrical signals that control your heart’s pumping action causes it to beat too fast in a pattern that ...

Dr. Hugh Calkins answers the question: 'Atrial Fibrillation vs. Atrial Flutter?' — -- Question: My doctor told me I sometimes have atrial fibrillation and at other times have atrial flutter. What ...

A small series provides provocative new data on the safety of performing direct current cardioversion (DCCV) without oral anticoagulation in high-risk patients with a Watchman left atrial appendage ...

Patients with recent-onset atrial fibrillation commonly undergo immediate restoration of sinus rhythm by pharmacologic or electrical cardioversion. However, whether immediate restoration of sinus ...
