pubmed:abstractText |
The efficacy of cardioversion (DCCV) for restoration of sinus rhythm (SR) in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is limited by a high relapse rate. Relapse may be reduced by amiodarone but no placebo-controlled trials of efficacy have been performed and the appropriate duration of therapy is unknown.
