Which shock strength works best for AF? new trial aims to settle the debate
NCT ID NCT07610980
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether starting with a higher shock energy (360 J) is better than a standard 200 J for restoring normal heart rhythm in people with atrial fibrillation. About 400 adults will be randomly assigned to one of three groups, including a personalized approach based on factors like heart size and weight. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to reduce the need for repeated shocks.
