Methods Clinical data of cardioversion with lanatoside (cedilandid) or propafenone, a sodium channel blocker prolongs refractoriness, for 57 aged patients with paroxysmal AF were summarized to observe their cardioversion and control of heart rate. And, synchronous electrical cardioversion will be offered to those with severe complications and ineffective with drug treatment within 24 h after the onset of AF.
