  • Title: [Echography after regularization of atrial fibrillation].
    Author: Sacrez A, Birmann L, Wolff F, Friederici R, Heintz A.
    Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 1978 Jan; 71(1):90-4. PubMed ID: 416779.
    Abstract:
    An echographic study was carried out on 17 patients before and after conversion of atrial fibrillation to normal rhythm. It showed up the moment of return of atrial contraction as a movement of the posterior wall of the left auricle and a reappearance of the 'a' wave or the anterior cusp of the mitral valve. The contraction can appear immediately after the electric shock, or may be delayed.
