Abstract
The ease of converting atrial fibrillation (AF) to sinus rhythm (SR) by electrical means makes establishment of guidelines for patient selection desirable. This study analyzes 4 considerations pertinent to selection: effectiveness; safety; hemodynamic effects; and maintenance of SR.Keywords
