Summary

The aim of this study is to identify the one electrode position out of two most commonly used for external electrical cardioversion of typical atrial flutter, which needs less delivered energy and less needed number of shocks for successful cardioversion.

Conditions

  • Atrial Flutter

Interventions

PROCEDURE

external electrical cardioversion (with antero-posterior electrode position)

external biphasic electrical cardioversion with step-up-protocol of 50-75-100-150-200 Joules if necessary with antero-posterior electrode position until restoration of normal sinus rhythm

PROCEDURE

external electrical cardioversion (with antero-lateral electrode position)

external biphasic electrical cardioversion with step-up protocol of 50-75-100-150-200 Joules if necessary with antero-lateral electrode position until restoration of normal sinus rhythm
