or Afib for short. In Beatty’s case, his heart the day he went into the hospital had to undergo electrical cardioversion to be “shocked” back into its normal rhythm. Paddles were secured to ...
Lasts for less than 7 days. Does not require intervention to convert to a normal rhythm (electrical or chemical cardioversion). Persistent atrial fibrillation: Lasts greater than 7 days.
A 30-second length ECG segment preceding the procedure from lead V 1 was analyzed for each patient. Each chosen interval was normalized to its maximum R peak amplitude in order to get comparable ...
