Abstract

Emergency department visits for atrial fibrillation (AF) have increased in the last decade. The efficacy and safety of vernakalant hydrochloride injection, a novel, relatively atrial-selective multiple ion channel blocker, in converting AF to sinus rhythm (SR), were recently reported. A pooled post hoc analysis of patients with recent-onset AF from 2 multicenter, placebo (PBO)-controlled Atrial arrhythmia Conversion Trials (ACT I and ACT III) assessed the efficacy of vernakalant in achieving SR based on patients' medical history and other baseline characteristics.
