Electrocardiographic Markers of Cardioversion Success in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Background:In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL), the value of the 12-lead surface electrocardiogram (ECG) in predicting direct current cardioversion (DCCV) outcomes has not been thoroughly investigated. We sought to determine whether the type of atrial arrhythmia (AF versus AFL) and the characteristics of the atrial fibrillatory…
