Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "JAMA cardiology"
DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2024.1091
Abstract: Importance Atrial fibrillation and obesity are common, and both are increasing in prevalence. Obesity is associated with failure of cardioversion of atrial fibrillation using a standard single set of defibrillator pads, even at high output.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/clc.23987
Abstract: The efficacy of anteriolateral versus anterior–posterior electrode positions in the success of atrial fibrillation's (AF) electrical cardioversion is unclear. Our aim is to perform a meta‐analysis to compare the success rate of both electrode positions.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joa3.70066
Abstract: external cardioversion. The ICDC achieves cardioversion using lower energy than external cardioversion, which minimizes patient movement during the procedure and a 3D map shift in the EAM system. For instance, when analyzing the location of… read more here.
