Overview
Tab Title Description
Study type
ObservationalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.
- Medical records research — uses historical information collected from medical records of large groups of people to study how diseases progress and which treatments and surgeries work best.

About this study
The objectives of this study are: (1) to analyze beat-to-beat variability and the variations of R-R interval to pre-preceding R-R interval (RRp/RRpp) ratio of left ventricular (LV) function by strain imaging (2D speckle tracking echocardiography) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing electrical cardioversion(ECV) or radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) as a predictor of a recovery of LV function and volume after restoration of sinus rhythm , (2) to evaluate left atrial mechanics as a predictor of for AF recurrence after electrical cardioversion (ECV) or radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA)
