Introduction: Successful synchronized direct current cardioversion (DCCV) requires adequate current delivery to the heart. However, adequate current for successful DCCV is not yet established.

Cardiologists at University of Utah Health use this therapy for people with heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias), including atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation (AFib). Your heart’s electrical ...

To date, there are no clinical data on the efficacy of the impedance‐compensated (ie, adjusted to patient's chest impedance) PB waveform, which is currently in use for direct current cardioversion and ...

ATRIAL fibrillation is one of the most prevalent of the chronic rhythm disorders of the heart. It is a derangement with serious implications. Even when the patient is asymptomatic the arrhythmia is by ...

Cardioversion is a procedure used to restore a normal heart rhythm. It’s most often used to treat AFib, the most common type of heart arrhythmia. While some people have success with medications, most ...

But the current study, from Dr Gaetano M De Ferrari (University of Pavia, Italy) and colleagues, suggests that there can be a role for cardioversion in some populations, in this case patients with ...

Endurance athletes may be at increased risk for lone atrial fibrillation. 1–5 We describe a middle-aged physician athlete with paroxysmal lone atrial fibrillation in whom cardioversion consistently ...

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a kind of irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia. A problem with the electrical signals that control your heart’s pumping action causes it to beat too fast in a pattern that ...
