In cases of atrial fibrillation, a common arrhythmia, sinus rhythm can often be restored by electroconversion, though the relapse rate is high. Various anti-arrhythmic drugs have been tried to sustain sinus rhythm after electroconversion. In the article experience with such drugs is reviewed and a treatment strategy suggested.
