Clinical Trial: Shock Energy for Electrical Cardioversion of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Study Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Recruit Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Condition: Atrial Fibrillation
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: A Randomised Trial of Shock Energy for Electrical Cardioversion of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of a maximum output shock for cardioverting atrial fibrillation between two commonly used defibrillators in New Zealand .These machines have different maximum energy outputs, and to date no head-to-head comparison cardioverting atrial fibrillation between the two has been undertaken.The main question it aims to answer is whether either device is more likely to cardiovert patients referred for atrial fibrillation.Participants will be randomized to undergo…
