Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) commonly observed in patients with heart failure and cardioversion was often needed to restore the sinus rhythm. Previously, there is no study evaluating usefulness of internal cardioversion with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) device. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and long‐term effects of internal cardioversion with ICD devices compared to conventional external cardioversion in patients with AF and heart failure.
