“…This echocardiographic phenomenon reflects atrial stasis and altered systemic hematologic parameters, thereby reflecting two arms of Virchow's triad of factors influencing thrombosis, and is a marker of left atrial thrombus and previous embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. '8'24 Spontaneous echo contrast was detected before cardioversion in only 5 patients, suggesting that this finding has limited predictive value for embolism in patients undergoing cardioversion.…”

“…Przywró-cenie rytmu zatokowego za pomocą farmakologicznej lub elektrycznej kardiowersji jest uznaną metodą leczenia wielu pacjentów z objawowym AF [3,4]. Istnieje jednak okołozabiegowe ryzyko powikłań zakrzepowo-zatorowych, a częstość udarów mózgu u osób nieleczonych wcześniej przeciwzakrzepowo wynosi 5-7% [5][6][7]. Przyjmowanie antagonistów witaminy K (VKA) zmniejsza ryzyko zdarzeń zakrzepowo-zatorowych związanych z kardiowersją do ok. 0,5-1,6% [7,8].…”

“…Zgodnie z wytycznymi wczesna kardiowersja może zostać przeprowadzona po wykluczeniu w TEE skrzepliny w lewym przedsionku lub po co najmniej 3-tygodniowym leczeniu doustnymi antykoagulantami z terapeutycznymi wartościami INR [1][2][3][4][5][6]. W badaniu X-VeRT w grupie kardiowersji wczesnej riwaroksaban lub VKA podawano przez 1-5 dni przed planową kardiowersją i kontynuowano przez 6 tygodni po kardiowersji.…”

“…The landmark study of Bjerkelund and Orning suggested that they should. 28 The study was not randomized since all patients admitted on oral anticoagulation, including all patients with previous emboli, were placed in the anticoagulated group. The incidence of postcardioversion emboli was 5.3% in the group not anticoagulated and 0.8% in the anticoagulated group.28 Based on this study, many cardiologists have routinely anticoagulated patients prior to pharmacologic or electrical cardoversion.…”
