Abstract

Results of this study demonstrate that anodal and cathodal configurations are associated with the same overall efficacy when using shocks up to 360 J in strength, but that the cathodal configuration is more likely to restore sinus rhythm using lower energy shocks. These data validate the conventional practice of using a cathodal configuration for atrial defibrillation.
