25 ~ Our Story ~ Chief complaints: easy fatigability Present illness: This 67 year-old gentleman presented with aggravation of easy fatigability. He had been diagnosed with paroxysmal AF 7 years ago. He had been treated with amiodarone for 4 years, which was stopped because of changing to persistent AF. He had no palpitation or DOE. However, he experiences easy fatigability and poor exercise capacity recently. Past History: Hypertension: (+), Diabetes: (-), CVA (-)
26 ~ Our Story ~ Echocardiogram EF 54%, LA Volume 56.4 ml, concentric LVH, no valvular lesions Current medications Aspirin: 100mg Amlodipine 5mg Bisoprolol 2.5 mg

31 Recommendations for Cardioversion in patients with AF 2014 AHA/ACC/HRS recommendations: Class Level AF/AFL 48 h or unknown, anticoagulation with warfarin (INR 2.0 to 3.0) is recommended for for 3 weeks before and for 4 weeks after cardioversion, regardless of the CHA2DS2-VASc score and the method AF/AFL 48 h or unknown that requires immediate cardioversion for hemodynamic instability, anticoagulation should be initiated as soon as possible and continued for at least 4 weeks after cardioversion unless contraindicated. AF/AFL < 48 h and high risk of stroke, intravenous heparin or LMWH, or administration of a factor Xa or direct thrombin inhibitor, is recommended as soon as possible before or immediately after cardioversion, followed by long-term anticoagulation therapy Following cardioversion for AF of any duration, the decision about long-term anticoagulation therapy should be based on the thromboembolic risk profile For NOACs, available data supporting similar use at cardioversion consist of subgroup analyses of RE-LY, ROCKET AF, and ARISTOTLE in patients who were receiving long-term anticoagulation (>3 weeks) around the time of cardioversion. I I I I B C C C January CT et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2014 ;14:1740
32 ~ Our Story ~ Transesophageal echocardiography 4 weeks later Dilated LA, no spontaneous echo or thrombi
33 Successful DC Cardioversion Presence of two or more P waves after shock delivery Immediate Recurrence of AF (IRAF) Re-initiation of AF within 1 min of successful CV Amiodarone Prevention of IRAF: better than sotalol, propafenone, ibutilide Conversion of persistent AF: ~ 25% Inhibits CYP3A, CYP2C9, P-glycoprotein increase the INR

37 ~ Our Story ~ Medication changed after TEE Amiodarone loading and maintained for 4 weeks Xarelto 20mg OD with the meal Norvasc 5mg OD D/C bisoprolol
38 HR: 76 BPM ~ Our Story ~ ECG on the day of cardioversion
39 HR: 56 BPM ~ Our Story ~ DCCV was successful with 100 J
40 ~ Our Story ~ The patient was discharged after DCCV with Amiodarone 200mg OD Xarelto 20mg OD Amlodipine 5mg OD The sinus rhythm was maintained for 6 days The patients felt the recurrence of AF with severe weakness and dizziness
41 HR: 99 BPM ~ Our Story ~ ECG 7 days after DCCV
42 ~ Our Story ~ Previous medication had been kept for 2 more months Amiodarone 200mg OD Xarelto 20mg OD with meal Amlodipine 5mg OD The patient had been weaker as time goes by. However, the surface ECG showed sinus rhythm
