Figure 1 Flowchart showing the occurrence of AF in 344 patients (pts) with SR during follow-up. Twenty-eight patients (8%) developed AF. AF persisted in 9 patients despite cardioversion, whereas SR was restored in 19 patients. SR persisted in 10 of these 19 patients throughout the follow-up, whereas AF occurred in the remaining 9, and SR could not be restored. Thus, overall, 18 patients (5%) developed chronic AF.
