Abstract
A 61-year-old man with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy developed acute pulmonary edema 29 h following cardioversion of chronic atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm. Doppler echocardiographic evaluation of atrial function showed return of right atrial contraction but absent left atrial systole. This has not been reported previously in a case of postcardioversion pulmonary edema.
