U.S., May 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07610980) titled 'Optimal Shock Energy for Electrical Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation' on May 13.
Brief Summary: Introduction For elective electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation, the recommended standard is the administration of a biphasic direct current shock. However, there is considerable variability among physicians regarding the choice of the initial shock energy, as current clinical guidelines do not specify it precisely. The guidelines of American cardiology societies recommend a shock intensity of at least 200 J, while the European Society of Cardiology guidelines do not comment on shock energy at all.
