Abstract

A second part of a cross-over study was performed for fifteen months in 16 patients to compare the efficiency of long-acting and conventional quinidine in maintaining sinus rhythm after electrical conversion of atrial fibrillation. Both quinidine preparations in adequate dosage were capable of maintaining sinus rhythm. The long-acting form of quinidine produced more stable blood levels with less fluctuation in concentration. The long-acting preparation caused fewer side effects than the conventional form of quinidine sulphate.
