Population

106 horses with atrial fibrillation admitted to the University of Pennsylvania over a 10-year period (1970-1979).

Intervention

Oral quinidine sulfate (administered to 77 horses)

Outcome

Conversion to normal sinus rhythm and clinical prognosis

In horses with atrial fibrillation, oral quinidine sulfate is highly effective for restoring normal sinus rhythm, though the presence of congestive heart failure or loud murmurs indicates a poor prognosis.
