We thought, that analysis of surface electrocardiograms recorded immediately after electrical external cardioversion (EC) might enlighten the mechanisms responsible for immediate recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and especially to test whether atrial ectopic beats (PAC) with long-short (LS) sequence are related to the recurrence of arrhythmia after cardioversion in patients with chronic AF.
