Several studies have indicated that treatment with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers (ARBs) may reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in hypertensive patients and patients with left ventricular dysfunction. However, there is limited data on the effect of ACE-inhibitors and ARBs in patients undergoing electrical cardioversion for persistent AF. We hypothesized that treatment with the ARB candesartan, without adjunct antiarrhythmic therapy, would reduce the recurrence rate of AF after successful cardioversion.
