Aim: To assess the safety and efficacy of amiodarone used after unsuccessful direct current (DC) cardioversion of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: The study group comprised 67 patients (F/M 26/41; mean age 61.3±11.2 years) after unsuccessful DC cardioversion (DCC) of persistent AF (mean arrhythmia duration 212.6±135.2 days) in whom another attempt of DCC was intended. Repeat DC cardioversion was performed after loading with oral amiodarone, for a period necessary to achieve a cumulative dose of up to 12.0-16.0g. Pretreatment was an outpatient procedure. After successful DC cardioversion all study subjects received a maintenance dose of amiodarone, 100-200 mg daily, aimed at preventing AF. The follow-up period was 12 ...
