Fig. 4 Shock of 260 V synchronized with R wave in 55-year-old man resulted in ventricular pause of 1650 msec without conversion of atrial arrhythmia. Subsequent intervals are comparable to intervals before shock (paper speed, 50 mm/sec). American Heart Journal , DOI: ( /S (97) ) Copyright © 1997 Mosby, Inc. Terms and Conditions
