Article Synopsis
- Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF) can develop into persistent atrial fibrillation (psAF), but some patients experience psAF without previous pAF, which might influence their response to direct current cardioversion (DCCV).
- This study aimed to analyze how a history of pAF impacts recurrence rates post-DCCV in patients with their first psAF episode.
- Findings showed that patients with primary psAF had longer AF survival times and less recurrence after DCCV compared to those with a history of pAF, suggesting that pAF patients may require more proactive rhythm control strategies.
