| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation following cardioversion | We will follow up by phone or look through medical records to record the number of subjects that have had a recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation. We are also looking if we can correlate the recurrence with arterial stiffness. | 6 months |
