Comparison of Maximum Energy Shocks From Two Defibrillator Vendors MAX - SHOCK- A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Can Electrical Cardioversion (ECV) for AF be improved. It is the preferred method to restore sinus rhythm in patients with AF in whom a rhythm-control strategy is pursued. Hypothesis: ECV success rates will be greater with a biphasic defibrillator with maximum energy of 360J (® Physio-Control) compared to a biphasic defibrillator with maximum energy of 200J (® Zoll)
