  • Title: Ventricular fibrillation following successful DC cardioversion for atrial fibrillation.
    Author: Caldwell JC, Woolfson P, Clarke B, Garratt CJ.
    Journal: Pacing Clin Electrophysiol; 2012 Dec; 35(12):e361-4. PubMed ID: 21251025.
    Abstract:
    Cardioversion remains an important therapy in the management of atrial fibrillation. Here, we report a case where direct current cardioversion resulted in a sudden dramatic change of heart rate that was associated with multiple ventricular fibrillation arrests in a manner akin to that previously observed post-atrioventricular node ablation.
