摘要
In summary, we found that ibutilide produced a low rate of converting recent-onset AF and AFl in patients scheduled for cardioversion after 3 to 4 weeks of anticoagulation. Treating nonacute AF and AFl of recent onset with first-line ibutilide, followed by DCC for patients who fail to convert, was more costly than preceding directly to DCC.
