Electrical Cardioversion [PDF]
Annals of Saudi Medicine, 2009 External electrical cardioversion was first performed in the 1950s. Urgent or elective cardioversions have specific advantages, such as termination of atrial and ventricular tachycardia and recovery of sinus rhythm. Electrical cardioversion is life-saving when applied in urgent circumstances.

Which antiarrhythmic drug to choose after electrical cardioversion: A study on non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The relative efficacy of antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) after electrical cardioversion are not well established. This study aimed to investigate the efficacies of different AADs for maintaining sinus rhythm (SR) after electrical cardioversion for atrial ...
