“…556,718 Ibutilide was more effective than verapamil in preventing immediate recurrence of AF. 705 Randomized studies of antithrombotic therapy are lacking for patients undergoing cardioversion of AF or atrial flutter, but in case-control series, the risk of thromboembolism was between 1% and 5%.…”

“…However, the amount of cumulative energy delivered before considering refractory AF varies from 360 up to 1200 J. [4][5][6] Our patients were refractory despite the fact that they received a high amount of delivered energy at their first unsuccessful cardioversion.…”

“…5 To detect an increase in conversion rate from 15 to 40% with sotalol, using the patients as their own controls, with ␣ = 0.05 and ␤ = 0.8, it was calculated that at least 49 patients were required. We enrolled 53 patients.…”

“…При использовании ибутилида необходимо постоянное мониторирование ЭКГ в условиях палаты интенсивной терапии ввиду риска torsades de pointes (1-5% случа-ев), чаще возникающих у женщин при наличии СН, ги-покалиемии, удлиненного QT на базовой ЭКГ и орга-нического поражения сердца. Кроме того, ибутилид так-же эффективен в случаях с длительным пароксизмом ФП [24,25].…”
