- Study Design
- SINGLE_GROUP
- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description Subjects with atrial fibrillation Carotid Ultrasound Subjects with atrial fibrillation that have been clinically scheduled for an electrical cardioversion procedure will have carotid ultrasound testing done before and after the procedure
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation following cardioversion 6 months We will follow up by phone or look through medical records to record the number of subjects that have had a recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation. We are also looking if we can correlate the recurrence with arterial stiffness.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Occurrence of stroke 6 months Number of subjects to have a stroke following cardioversion
Occurrence of heart failure 6 months Number of subjects to have heart failure following cardioversion
Occurrence of hospitalization 6 months Number of subjects that have been hospitalized following cardioversion
