- BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF), electrical cardioversion (direct current, or DC) shock energy, and a sudden change to sinus rhythm (SR) might all influence the interpretation of the signal-averaged electrocardiogram (SAECG) as risk markers of ventricular tachyarrhythmia. METHODS: The SAECG was recorded in 82 patients with persistent AF before and 2 hours after DC and analyzed for ventricular late potentials (LPs) and spectral turbulence. RESULTS: Sixty-nine patients (84%) obtained SR. Their mean (SD) heart rate decreased by 22 (20) beats/min, and the QTcF interval was significantly prolonged, 17 (38) milliseconds, as was the filtered QRS duration, 1.1 (4.7) milliseconds (40 Hz). The proportion of LP positivity (20%) did not change with the change in rhythm. Eight of 60 spectral turbulence-negative patients before DC became positive after DC (P = .01). The change in SAECG variables did not correlate significantly with the amount of energy delivered at DC. CONCLUSION: The LP analysis provided similar results in AF and SR, whereas the spectral turbulence analysis was more abnormal in SR. The electrical shock itself did not seem to explain this phenomenon.
