Key result
Low-energy internal cardioversion restored sinus rhythm in 75% (15 of 20) of patients with chronic atrial fibrillation who had previously failed conventional external cardioversion.
Why the study?
Does low-energy internal cardioversion restore sinus rhythm in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation who have failed external cardioversion?
Observational (n=20)
Does low-energy internal cardioversion restore sinus rhythm in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation who have failed external cardioversion?
Low-energy internal cardioversion is an effective and safe therapeutic option for restoring sinus rhythm in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation who fail conventional external cardioversion.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May be considered for external cardioversion failures; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of safety and outcomes.
V. Taramasco (1999) conducted an observational in Chronic atrial fibrillation (n=20). Low-energy internal cardioversion was evaluated on Restoration of sinus rhythm. Low-energy internal cardioversion restored sinus rhythm in 75% (15 of 20) of patients with chronic atrial fibrillation who had previously failed conventional external cardioversion.
