  • Title: Time course of recovery of left atrial mechanical dysfunction after cardioversion of spontaneous atrial fibrillation with the implantable atrial defibrillator.
    Author: Tse HF, Wang Q, Yu CM, Ayers GM, Lau CP.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 2000 Nov 01; 86(9):1023-5, A10. PubMed ID: 11053721.
    Abstract:
    The effect of the timing of cardioversion of atrial fibrillation on left atrial mechanical function was studied in 11 patients treated with the implantable atrial defibrillator. Results of this study suggested that prompt cardioversion of spontaneous episodes of atrial fibrillation within 48 hours after onset was associated with early resolution of left atrial mechanical dysfunction seen after cardioversion.
