ResumoIn conclusion, among patients with a clinical duration of AF of ≤5 weeks, recovery of atrial mechanical function appears related to the mode of cardioversion: a more prompt return of atrial mechanical function was seen in patients undergoing successful pharmacologic cardioversion versus those undergoing successful electrical cardioversion after unsuccessful pharmacologic cardioversion.
