The Role of Biphasic Shocks for Transthoracic Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation

The Role of Biphasic Shocks for Transthoracic Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation

The modern generation of transthoracic defibrillators now employ impedance compensated biphasic waveforms. These new devices are superior to those with monophasic waveforms and practice is currently switching to biphasic defibrillators for the treatment of both ventricular and atrial fibrillation. H...
