Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests represent impactful events. Despite the evolution of care, they are still associated with high morbidity and mortality. We present the analysis of our activity included in the 2023 CHC - Bcar registry in Liege area (Belgium).

This case report discusses the management of a 75-year-old man who developed an unusual type of atypical atrial flutter following a previous pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Despite a second attempt to re-isolate the pulmonary veins and performing cavotricuspid isthmus ablation (which was suspected to be part of the arrythmia circuit), the flutter continued and was converted to sinus rhythm through electrical cardioversion. A few weeks later, the patient's atrial tachycardia relapsed.

Electrical cardioversion presents one of the treatment options for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the early recurrence rate is high, reaching ~40% three months after the procedure. Features based on vectorcardiographic signals were explored to find association with early recurrence of AF.

In critically ill patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), standard treatment algorithms might not be applicable. Emergency departments (ED) play a crucial role in implementing individualized treatment approaches. The aim of this study was to assess the association of lactate and cardioversion success rates in AF patients presenting to an ED.

: The risks of blood clot formation, stroke, heart failure (HF), and cardiovascular death are enhanced in individuals with atrial flutter (AFL). However, it remains unclear whether left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) in individuals with AFL with anticoagulation enhances the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Thus, in the current trial, we aimed to evaluate the predictive role of LAAT for cardiovascular outcomes in individuals with AFL who were receiving anticoagulation and admitted for electrical cardioversion.
