Shock showdown: which defibrillator works better for irregular heartbeats?
NCT ID NCT05992623
Summary
This study compared two different types of electrical shocks used by defibrillators to restore normal heart rhythm in people with atrial fibrillation (AFib). Researchers tested 546 patients who were scheduled for this procedure, randomly assigning them to receive one type of shock or the other. The main goal was to see which shock was more effective at getting the heart back into a normal rhythm on the first try.
