In the six-month DECAF randomized trial, 47 percent of coffee drinkers experienced recurrent atrial fibrillation or flutter versus 64 percent among those who avoided caffeine.

In patients with persistent AF who underwent cardioversion, a cup of joe per day lowered the risk of recurrences at 6 months.

Drinking a daily cup of caffeinated coffee was linked to a 39% lower hazard of atrial fibrillation (a-fib) recurrence.

Adults with atrial fibrillation who drank a cup a day of caffeinated coffee were less likely to have recurrent AF or atrial ...

Drinking coffee can protect against atrial fibrillation (A-Fib), a common heart rhythm disorder that causes rapid, irregular ...

Cardioversion is a procedure that returns an abnormal heart rhythm to normal. It's used when you have an arrhythmia, which means your heart is beating too fast or irregularly. Cardioversion can be ...

However, several factors confound the role of inflammation in generation and perpetuation of AF. As an example, failure to show a correlation between baseline hsCRP levels and maintenance of sinus ...

Many authorities recommend digoxin for one year for atrial flutter (AT.FL) in infants with normal structural hearts. To re-examine this recommendation the electrocardiogram, response to programmed ...

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

But the current study, from Dr Gaetano M De Ferrari (University of Pavia, Italy) and colleagues, suggests that there can be a role for cardioversion in some populations, in this case patients with ...

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 ...
