摘要：

We investigated left atrial appendage function by transesophageal echocardiography, on the day after external electrical cardioversion to sinus rhythm, in 41 patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. After cardioversion, appendage contraction synchronized with the electrical and mechanical activity of the atrium, which was restored in about 70% of the patients.
