2. Atrial fibrillation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_fibrillation

   Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of heart failure, dementia, and stroke. [3] [12] It is a type of supraventricular tachycardia. [14] Atrial fibrillation frequently results from bursts of tachycardia that originate in muscle bundles extending from the atrium to the pulmonary veins. [15]

   They have a rapid onset and offset of action. This means it is often possible to pause them 12 to 48 hours before surgery and resume them shortly after the surgery. By contrast, warfarin and phenprocoumon are often paused up to a week before surgery, and low-molecular-weight heparins are used to "bridge" the therapy gap, typically for several ...

4. Ibutilide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibutilide

   Ibutilide is a Class III antiarrhythmic agent that is indicated for acute cardioconversion of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter of a recent onset to sinus rhythm. It exerts its antiarrhythmic effect by induction of slow inward sodium current, which prolongs action potential and refractory period of myocardial cells.

   Dr. Coralie Poizat: The Poizat Lab researches heart failure and the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that cause the heart to fail. Heart failure and cardiovascular disease are the leading cause for death worldwide, more so than cancer. Poizat finds new pathways relevant to cardiac diseases, which may lead to developing new health therapies. [16]

7. Cardioversion - Wikipedia

   Pharmacological cardioversion is an especially good option in patients with atrial fibrillation of recent onset. Drugs that are effective at maintaining normal rhythm after electric cardioversion can also be used for pharmacological cardioversion.
