Hand-Held Paddles More Effective than Adhesive Patches for Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation in Obese Patients: Results from the DCR-BMI Multicenter Randomised Controlled Trial
Heart Lung and Circulation(2018)
Abstract
Background: Obesity is associated with higher rates of persistent atrial filbrillation (PeAF) and electrical cardioversion (DCR) failure. For ease of use and workplace safety many centres prefer patches for DCR. Hand-held paddles may improve success by reducing transthoracic impedance.
