Short ‐ and long‐term clinical predictors of pharmacological cardioversion of persistent atrial fibrillation by dofetilide: A retrospective cohort study of 160 patients

ConclusionsDyslipidemia and LVEF <40% were associated with failure to cardiovert after first dose, and female sex and LVEF 40% were related to failure to convert at all on dofetilide in persistent AF patients. After 1‐year follow‐up, female sex, known CAD, and age <63 years were associated with increased AF readmissions.
