Procaine amide (Pronestyl) was administered to patients with auricular fibrillation and flutter in an attempt to restore sinus rhythm. Thirteen of 20 patients with auricular fibrillation had sinus rhythm re-established. Several of the patients who were not converted with procaine amide were later restored to sinus rhythm with quinidine.
