Oral loading of propafenone: restoring its role before restoring rhythm

The optimal way to convert recent onset atrial fibrillation (AF) to sinus rhythm is still a matter of interest for physicians. According to guidelines, usually the clinical strategy depends on patient's characteristics. Pharmacological cardioversion with Class I antiarrhythmic drugs is one of the main therapeutic options for restoring sinus rhythm in patients with recent onset and haemodynamically well-tolerated AF, in the absence of structural heart disease.
