What are the diagnostic and management strategies for atrial fibrillation in horses?
Quinidine and transvenous electrical cardioversion are the primary treatments for restoring sinus rhythm in horses with atrial fibrillation.
Kim McGurrin (2015) studied this question. Restoration of sinus rhythm in horses with lone atrial fibrillation leads to a good prognosis for return to performance, primarily using quinidine or transvenous electrical cardioversion.
