Left atrial pathology grade may predict cardioversion success in mitral valvular disease; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before guiding practice.
Does left atrial pathology grade predict cardioversion success in patients with mitral valvular disease?
The severity of left atrial fibrosis and morphologic changes strongly predicts the success or failure of postoperative cardioversion in patients with mitral valvular disease.
George W. H. Bailey (1968) studied this question.
