likelihood of spontaneous conversion of atrial fibrillation to Sinus Rhythm
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1998Co-Authors: Peter G Danias, Todd A Caulfield, Marilyn J Weigner, David I Silverman, Warren J ManningAbstract:Abstract Objectives. We sought to determine the likelihood and predictors of spontaneous conversion to Sinus Rhythm of recent-onset atrial fibrillation (symptoms Background. Although spontaneous conversion of recent-onset atrial fibrillation is common, the likelihood and clinical and echocardiographic predictors have not been fully defined. Such data would be important for management of patients in whom early cardioversion is desired: Cardioversion could be delayed in patients with a high likelihood of spontaneous conversion, and it could be expeditiously pursued if spontaneous conversion is unlikely. Methods. We screened 1,822 consecutive adults admitted to the hospital with atrial fibrillation and prospectively identified 356 patients (45% male, mean age ± SD 68 ± 16 years) with atrial fibrillation of Results. Spontaneous conversion to Sinus Rhythm occurred in 68% of the study group (n = 242; 95% confidence interval [CI] 63% to 73%). Among patients with spontaneous conversion, the total duration of atrial fibrillation was 48 h in 41 (17%) (p Conclusions. Spontaneous conversion to Sinus Rhythm occurs in almost 70% of patients presenting with atrial fibrillation of
