Initially 75 patients were screened and found eligible to be recruited in the study, but later on 10 out of them achieved sinus rhythm by chemical cardioversion, therefore did not proceed to electro-cardioversion, while 5 out of them were detected with a clot in the left atrial appendage during TOE performed prior to elective electro-cardioversion, so were excluded from the study.
