In patients with atrial fibrillation, the reduced right ventricular function determined by tricuspid annular motion before cardioversion returns to normal 1 month after successful cardioversion to sinus rhythm. The simplicity of recording the tricuspid annular motion provides an easy opportunity to assess right ventricular function following electroconversion of atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm.
