Cardioversion of atrial fibrillation in obese patients: Results from the Cardioversion‐BMI randomized controlled trial

Aims Obesity is associated with higher electrical cardioversion (ECV) failure in persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF). For ease‐of‐use, many centers prefer patches over paddles. We assessed the optimum modality and shock vector, as well as the safety and efficacy of the Manual Pressure Augmentation...
