Direct-current cardioversion for the conversion of atrial flutter.

P Chalasani1, S Cambre, M E Silverman.   

Abstract

Hemodynamically stable atrial flutter should be treated with direct-current cardioversion using 200 J as an initial setting. This can be accomplished in an outpatient setting, saving the cost of hospitalization and avoiding the hazards of drug therapy.
