May support low-energy atrial cardioversion via ICD leads; hypothesis-generating case data leave practice change unproven.
Does internal atrial cardioversion using a transvenous single lead system designed for ventricular defibrillation safely terminate short duration atrial tachyarrhythmias in ICD recipients?
Internal atrial cardioversion of short duration atrial tachyarrhythmias using a standard ventricular defibrillation single lead system is feasible and safe at low energies.
