Why the study?
Does low energy internal cardioversion safely restore sinus rhythm in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation?
Does low energy internal cardioversion safely restore sinus rhythm in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation?
Low energy internal cardioversion is highly effective and safe for restoring sinus rhythm in persistent atrial fibrillation, with amiodarone pretreatment lowering the defibrillation threshold.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support low-energy internal cardioversion feasibility in persistent AF; leaves open randomized confirmation of amiodarone's threshold effect.
Santini et al. (1998) studied this question.
