MAX - SHOCK Clinical Trial

Comparison of Maximum Energy Shocks From Two Defibrillator Vendors MAX - SHOCK- A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial


Sponsor

Ottawa Heart Institute Research Corporation

Enrollment

376 participants

Start Date

Mar 31, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Can Electrical Cardioversion (ECV) for AF be improved. It is the preferred method to restore sinus rhythm in patients with AF in whom a rhythm-control strategy is pursued. Hypothesis: ECV success rates will be greater with a biphasic defibrillator with maximum energy of 360J (® Physio-Control) compared to a biphasic defibrillator with maximum energy of 200J (® Zoll)


Eligibility
