Early stroke and systemic embolism rates in patients following cardioversion for atrial fibrillation (A-fib) are low and comparable between those receiving warfarin or the novel oral anticoagulant ...

The American College of Cardiology (ACC), American Heart Association, and the European Society of Cardiology define atrial fibrillation (AF) as a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia characterized by ...
