The amplitude of f wave was not associated with echocardiographic, clinical and laboratory parameters that indicate a high risk of thromboembolism. cAF was associated with a higher chance of success reverting to sinus rhythm employing ECV. A greater number of shocks and energy were required for reversion to sinus rhythm in patients with fAF.
