简要总结
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether fish oil supplements may be beneficial in preventing the recurrence of atrial fibrillation after cardioversion.
Atrial fibrillation is a heart condition which can sometimes be successfully treated by a cardioversion.
Cardioversion involves resetting the heart back to normal with the use of electric current.
There is a tendency for the atrial fibrillation to recur , days weeks or even months after the cardioversion.
