Introduction: Cardioversion (CV) is the essential component of rhythm control strategy for
atrial fibrillation (AF). This review will focus on how the timing of CV affects the efficacy and …

The therapeutic dilemma between rhythm and rate control in the management of atrial
fibrillation (AF) is still unresolved and electrical or pharmacological cardioversion (CV) …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) represents the most common arrhythmia and is associated with
increased morbidity and mortality generating high social costs. Due to its high prevalence …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of arrhythmia, carrying high social costs. It is
usually first seen by general practitioners or in emergency departments. Despite the …

Background Electrical cardioversion (CV) is essential in rhythm management of atrial
fibrillation (AF). However, optimal timing of CV remains unknown. Hypothesis Timing of CV …

Background Elective cardioversion (ECV) of atrial fibrillation (AF) is a standard procedure to
restore sinus rhythm. However, predictors for ineffective ECV (failure of ECV or recurrence of …
