“…(4) The last consideration is closely linked to the physiopathology of the postcardioversion thromboembolic event in patients without precardioversion thrombi due to atrial and or LAA dysfunction, commonly known as stunning. In agreement with the clinical findings of the timing of the thromboembolic event, most patients with nonvalvular AF lasting b6 weeks manage to recover atrial function within a week following cardioversion, irrespective of the type of cardioversion carried out [36][37][38]. This may have implications for the determining of a brief duration of anticoagulation therapy after successful cardioversion.…”

“… 44 Thromboemboli after cardioversion are considered due to embolization of already existing thrombi present in the atrium at the time of cardioversion or to the formation and subsequent embolization of de novo thrombi in the atrium that form while atrial function is still depressed in the weeks after cardioversion. 45 , 46 …”

“…Das Risiko für einen thromboembolischen Schlaganfall innerhalb von 30 Tagen nach Kardioversion liegt für nicht antikoagulierte Patienten bei 5-7 % [20,21], im Vergleich zu weniger als 1 % unter effektiver Antikoagulation [22]. Thromboembolische Ereignisse nach Kardioversion können entweder auf schon vorhandene Thromben zum Zeitpunkt der Kardioversion zurückgeführt werden oder durch Thromben im Vorhof bedingt sein, die sich nach einer Kardioversion infolge der weiter bestehenden eingeschränkten Vorhoffunktion trotz Sinusrhythmus erst im Verlauf mit einem Ma-ximum von 3-5 Tagen entwickeln [23,24]. Nach elektrischer oder pharmakologischer Kardioversion, aber auch bei einer spontanen Konversion in den Sinusrhythmus, konnte eine Abnahme der Flussgeschwindigkeit im linken Herzohr und das Auftreten eines spontanen Echokontrasts beobachtet werden.…”
