A review of 22 patients with atrial fibrillation after the treatment of thyrotoxicosis, who underwent elective electrical cardioversion, showed that only 45% were still in sinus rhythm at 2 years and 36% in the long term (mean 7·4 years). There were no significant differences in factors assessed between those persisting in sinus rhythm and in those who relapsed. A delay in the initial curative treatment of thyrotoxicosis may be a factor in influencing the outcome.
对22例甲状腺毒症治疗后发生心房颤动且接受择期电复律的患者进行的一项回顾性研究显示,2年后仅有45%的患者仍维持窦性心律,长期(平均7.4年)维持窦性心律的患者比例为36%。在维持窦性心律的患者和复发的患者之间,所评估的因素没有显著差异。甲状腺毒症初始治疗的延迟可能是影响预后的一个因素。
