Abstract
In patients with aerial fibrillation. the reduced right ventricular functio n determined by tricuspid annular motion before cardioversion returns to no rmal 1 month after successful cardioversion to sinus rhythm, The simplicity of recording the tricuspid annular motion provides an easy opportunity to assess right ventricular function following electroconversion of atrial fib rillation to sinus rhythm.
