Does synchronized direct-current shock effectively treat drug-resistant cardiac arrhythmias?
Synchronized direct-current shock allows for the treatment of drug-resistant cardiac arrhythmias while theoretically avoiding the induction of ventricular fibrillation.
McDonald et al. (1964) studied this question.
