[The use of high-dose amiodarone for cardioversion in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation].
Through this work, we reveal the possibility of converting into sinus rhythm the atrial chronic fibrillation based on vascular disease. The drug used for the cardioversion is "amiodarone". The results are excellent. Before the sinus rhythm became stable phenomena occurred that can be interpreted on the basis of an arteriosclerosis and ischemia type. This work has made use of the echographic instrument to prove the progress of the anatomical and functional conditions.
