Role Summary & Objectives

pharmacological and electrical cardioversion in relation to AF duration. The research phase will involve
collecting data from medical records, identifying patient cohorts based on AF duration, and performing
statistical analyses to compare the effectiveness of different treatment modalities. The researcher will also explore how the
duration of AF affects the choice between pharmacological and electrical cardioversion. In the final project, the researcher
