Effect of the Implantable Atrial Defibrillator on the Natural History of Atrial Fibrillation

Implantable Atrial Defibrillator. Introduction: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effect of repeated cardioversion with an implantable atrial defibrillator on the clinical outcome of patients with atrial fibrillation.
