AbstractHyperthyroidism-induced atrial fibrillation (AF) often spontaneously reverts to sinus rhythm after the return of euthyroid state, but a significant number of patients remain in persistent AF, which requires electrical cardioversion. The long-term outcome of hyperthyroidism-induced persistent AF after successful cardioversion remains unclear. The study group consisted of 58 patients with hyperthyroidism-induced persistent AF (mean age 57 ± 2 years, 72% men) who had undergone successful electrical cardioversion. The AF recurrence rate was prospectively studied and compared with age- and gender-matched controls with persistent AF of nonthyroid origins. After a 24-month follow-up period, 34 patients (59%) had developed AF recurrence, significantly fewer than among controls (83%) (hazard ratio 0.64, 95% confidence interval 0.39 to 0.97, p = 0.04). Cox regression analysis showed that long AF duration was the only predictor of AF recurrence in patients with hyperthyroidism-induced persistent AF. In conclusion, hyperthyroidism-induced persistent AF carries a lower recurrence rate after conversion to sinus rhythm than non-hyperthyroidism-induced persistent AF, and early electrical cardioversion should be considered. © 2009 Elsevier Inc.
