During 3 months all patients received by turns two types of therapy: combination of preventive antiarrhythmic therapy with spirapril 6 mg once daily - (CT group) or preventive antiarrhythmic therapy only (AT group).Results. AF-free intervals to the first and the second AF paroxysms during antiarrhythmic drug withdrawal were comparable ) in AT and CT groups (p=0,4 and p=0,6, respectively, logrank test).Conclusion.
