Electrocardiographic changes during the first few seconds after cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and flutter

Upsala Journal of Medical Sciences

Abstract

Electrocardiograms were registered with a special technique during attempts at cardioversion in 22 patients with atrial fibrillation or flutter. The registrations permitted analysis of the electrocardiogram 0.1-0.5 s after the electrical discharge. Mean values indicate that there is no compensatory pause after the d.c. shock. After 29 of the 42 synchronized d.c. shocks the first QRS complex was aberrant.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
