Key result
Clinical, therapeutic, biochemical, ECG, and echocardiographic parameters predict atrial fibrillation recurrence, which occurs in 40 to 50% of patients despite cardioversion and antiarrhythmic drugs.
Why the study?
What are the predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence after electrical cardioversion or ablation?
What are the predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence after electrical cardioversion or ablation?
Identifying predictors of AF recurrence can help better select patients for cardioversion or ablation, reducing healthcare costs and unnecessary procedures.

Parameters predict post-cardioversion AF recurrence; leaves open prospective validation before guiding patient selection.
Vizzardi et al. (2012) conducted a review in Atrial fibrillation. Clinical, therapeutic, biochemical, ECG, and echocardiographic parameters predict atrial fibrillation recurrence, which occurs in 40 to 50% of patients despite cardioversion and antiarrhythmic drugs.
