Abstract
Sinus rhythm (SR) maintenance strategies after electrical or pharmacological cardioversion in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) may be only temporarily effective, leading to AF recurrence. Identifying predictors of AF recurrence after effective electrical cardioversion (ECV) may help personalize treatment, for instance, by affecting modifiable factors of unsuccessful long-term rhythm control. Disseminating information on this topic may benefit individual patients, lower the risk of subsequent procedures and the associated complications, and decrease health care costs. The purpose of this paper was to present the current state of knowledge on the predictors of failed ECV, with a particular focus on the most recent relevant research.
