Figure 1 The cumulative conversion progression to normal sinus rhythm (NSR) in the amiodarone and propafenone groups. It is clear that propafenone starts to convert earlier than amiodarone; none of our patients receiving this drug converted after more than 15 days. In contrast, amiodarone, while having a delayed onset of action ( 9 days), continued to cardiovert at a steady rate.
