AF duration before cardioversion was associated with LA recovery; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does the duration of atrial fibrillation before cardioversion affect the recovery of left atrial mechanical function?
The duration of atrial fibrillation prior to cardioversion is an important determinant of the recovery of left atrial mechanical function and early hemodynamic benefit.
Manning et al. (1994) studied this question.
