Atrial conduit function quantitation precardioversion predicts early arrhythmia recurrence in persistent atrial fibrillation patients

AimsAtrial fibrillation incidence is increasing due to ageing population and electrical cardioversion (ECV) is overused because of atrial fibrillation recurrences. Study's aim was to evaluate value of novel three-dimensional echocardiographic-derived left atrial conduit (LAC) function quantification
