Quinidine may safely convert acute equine AF under anesthesia; leaves open translation to awake or diseased horses.
Does conversion to normal sinus rhythm with quinidine alter hemodynamics in horses with atrial fibrillation or flutter?
In horses without other cardiac disease, resting hemodynamics do not necessarily deteriorate with atrial fibrillation, and quinidine is effective for restoring normal sinus rhythm.
Muir et al. (1984) studied this question.
