A Prognostic Score To Predict Atrial fibrillation Recurrence After External Electrical Cardioversion—SLAC Score

Abstract: Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after a successful external electrical cardioversion (ECV) is common. Assessing an individual's risk of AF recurrence is a critical part of the treatment plan. We aimed to develop a prognostic prediction score to predict AF recurrence in AF patients who underwent successful ECV. Methods: A retrospective cohort study that included AF patients who underwent successful ECV was conducted with a primary outcome of AF recurrence at 6 months. Logistic regression analy… Show more

“…This study highlights the prognostic impact of previously attempted cardioversion. As in other studies, prior history of ECV was an important independent predictor of recurrence (Boriani et al, 2007;Martínez-Brotóns et al, 2006;Thangjui et al, 2022).…”

“…Additionally, the post-ECV follow-up and rhythm monitoring were intermittent, which could have led to missing some recurrence cases if those would have been asymptomatic episodes. Nonetheless, our follow-up is similar to the follow-up reported in previous studies, which also did not include continuous ECG monitoring (Kornej et al, 2015;Mesquita et al, 2018;Mujović et al, 2017;Thangjui et al, 2022;Winkle et al, 2016). In spite of the existence of other clinical scores to predict post-CA and post-PCV recurrence, they could not be evaluated as we did not have the necessary data.…”
