Özet
What is known and Objective Although restoration of sinus rhythm is the integral part of the atrial fibrillation (Af) management, recurrence frequency of Af is high after cardioversion. However, little is known about the association of electrocardiography (ECG) parameters with Af recurrence after restoration of sinus rhythm. The present study aimed to investigate whether frontal plane QRS‐T (fQRST) angle, as a marker of ventricular repolarization heterogeneity, predicts Af recurrence after successful pharmacological cardioversion. Methods One hundred and sixty‐five paroxysmal Af patients with an acute Af episode who underwent successful pharmacological cardioversion with intravenous amiodarone infusion were included into the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to presence or absence of in‐hospital Af recurrence. The association between fQRST angle and Af recurrence was investigated …
