Results from this trial should help to determine how to best treat the problem you currently have. In the meantime, we don't know which strategy is better. Thus, I suggest that you speak with your cardiologist in-depth regarding the pros and cons of starting amiodarone treatment. There are other medications that can be used to convert afib to sinus rhythm that don't have as many side effects as amiodarone, so you should ask about those as well. I hope you find this information useful.
