OBJECTIVE: To examine the occurrence of @entity3126 after cardioversion of @entity943 . METHODS: Cases, case series, and related articles on the subject identified through a comprehensive literature search were examined. RESULTS: Thirty cases (23 males) of post cardioversion @entity3126 were identified. The mean age was 53.8 +/- 13 years (range, 18 to 75 years). Underlying @entity943 were @entity955 (69%), @entity956 (24%), @entity4710 (4%), and @entity1165 (4%). The duration of @entity943 preceding cardioversion varied widely ranging from 1 day to 13 years. Twenty-six (87%) @entity1 had concomitant @entity65 comprising of @entity453 (38%), @entity6331 (23%), @entity296 (23%), and @entity101 (8%). Direct current electrical cardioversion was used in 28 (93%) @entity1 and pacing in two (7%) @entity1 . Occurrence of @entity3126 was independent of the amount of energy used for cardioversion (range 20 to 1280 Joules, mean 263 +/- 27 Joules). Short acting general anesthetic drugs were administered in 14 (47%) and sedation in eight (27%) @entity1 . Sinus rhythm was established in 23 (77%) @entity1 . Duration to develop @entity3126 after cardioversion was available in 23 @entity1 and ranged from immediately to 96 h. @entity3126 occurred within 15 min after cardioversion in 22%, within 3 h in 30%, within 24 h in 30%, within 48 h in 17% and within 96 h in remaining 4% of @entity1 . Three @entity1 required mechanical ventilation. CONCLUSION: The rare complication of @entity3126 after cardioversion has been reported mostly in @entity1 with underlying @entity299 , and is independent of the amount of energy used for cardioversion.
