Increase in regional cerebral saturation after elective electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation is only transient and without beneficial effects on neuropsychological functioning: cerebral saturation during electrical cardioversion Universiteit Hasselt
We aimed to confirm the positive association between a successful electrical cardioversion (ECV) and increase in SctO(2)and investigated whether this increase is persisting or not. Secondary, the influence of a successful ECV on the neuropsychological function and the association with SctO(2)was assessed as well. SctO(2)was measured continuously during elective ECV using near-infrared spectroscopy. Measurements started before induction of ...
