    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 1999 Mar 01; 83(5):788-90, A10. PubMed ID: 10080441.
    Abstract:
    Acute treatment of atrial fibrillation is costly although spontaneous conversion rates are high. We reviewed 114 patients admitted to our inpatient service via the emergency department with a principal diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and found the spontaneous conversion rate was 50% in 48 hours, the average length of stay was 3.9 +/- 5.2 days, and the average cost was $6,692 +/- $4,928.
