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
