Anterior lateral positioning of electrodes better for biphasic cardioversion of AF
According to a recent study published in Circulation, Anterior-lateral positioning is superior to anterior-posterior electrode positioning in biphasic cardioversion of atrial fibrillation. Smaller randomized studies have reported conflicting results regarding the optimal electrode position for cardioverting atrial fibrillation.
However, anterior-posterior electrode positioning is widely used as a standard and believed to be superior to anterior-lateral electrode positioning. Therefore, we aimed to compare anterior-lateral and anterior-posterior electrode positioning for cardioverting atrial fibrillation in a multicenter randomized trial.
