Fig. 2.

Symptom variability around electrical cardioversion per patient. Shown is the symptom variability around electrical cardioversion (ECV) among patients without recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) (panel a) and with recurrence of AF (panel b). Other includes the following symptoms: reduced exercise tolerance, tiredness, chest pain, and others. The green lines indicate patients with a symptom-rhythm correlation around ECV (defined as self-reported symptoms present during AF and absent in sinus rhythm (SR) or absent in AF and yet relief during sinus rhythm). The red lines indicate patients without a symptom-rhythm correlation around ECV. The orange lines indicate patients with an unevaluable symptom-rhythm correlation around ECV. The lightning symbols are used to display the moment of ECV. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)
