Conclusion
RECURRENCES, ATRIAL FIBRILLATION (AF), ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
A delayed cardioversion strategy translated into a favorable heart rate profile during AF recurrences.In the RACE 7 ACWAS trial, patients with recent‐onset atrial fibrillation (AF) were randomized to either early or delayed cardioversion. This prespecified sub‐analysis evaluating heart rate during AF recurrences after an emergency department visit showed that a delayed cardioversion strategy translated into a favorable heart rate profile during AF recurrences.Abbreviations: AF = atrial fibrillation, ED = emergency department, RACE 7 ACWAS trial = Rate Control versus Electrical Cardioversion Trial 7–Acute Cardioversion versus Wait and See.
