Özet

Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been treated with DC shocks delivered transthoracically but in 5-30 % of patients, the procedures fail to restore sinus rhythm (SR). In this study we evaluated the efficacy of higher energy for the treatment of refractory AF with using synchronized double external defibrillator.
