38. For patients with no identifiable thrombus, CARDIOVERSION is reasonable immediately after anticoagulation with UNFRACTIONATED HEPARIN (e.g., initiate by intravenous bolus injection and an infusion continued at a dose adjusted to prolong the activated partial thromboplastin time to 1.5 to 2 times the control value until oral anticoagulation has been established with a vitamin K antagonist (e.g., warfarin), as evidenced by an INR ≥ 2.0.).
