Abstract :
Conventional electrical cardioversion failed to restore normal sinus rhythm (NSR) in 49 of 364 patients (13.5%) with persistent atrial fibrillation. After receiving up to 2 mg of atropine, 40 (81%) of these 49 “electrical-refractory” patients were successfully cardioverted to NSR by subsequent attempts of electrical cardioversion.
