Abstract
Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are common arrhythmias in everyday clinical settings. Pharmacologic cardioversion (CV) is a simple and widely used strategy for the treatment of these arrhythmias, and many drugs are currently available. The choice of drug is strongly influenced by the time elapsed from atrial fibrillation onset and by a patient's clinical subset. Electrical direct-current CV is the treatment of choice in long-lasting forms; nevertheless, some agents also show efficacy in this setting. In addition, promising results come from studies on the efficacy and safety of new antiarrhythmic drugs and from therapeutic approaches that reduce the need for hospitalization and improve quality of life.
