Secondly, early cardioversion may attenuate adverse atrial ... appears to be an important step in the induction of AF-induced electrical remodeling. It has therefore been postulated that the ...

Procainamide or urgent electrical cardioversion is recommended to manage AF with rapid ventricular rates in patients with WPW. When AF occurs, left atrial flow velocities are significantly ...

Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) should be instituted immediately, including emergent electrical cardioversion. This is frequently accomplished using an automated external defibrillator (AED).

Aside from patient factors, a number of factors may influence the immediate success of cardioversion, that is, a complete failure to cardiovert. These include electrode placement, shock polarity ...
