AbstractThe dose-response relationship for successful defibrillation has been determined in man for the ventricle but not for the atrium. The purpose of this study was to determine the dose-response relationship for internal atrial defibrillation in humans. Seventy-seven consecutive patients underwent internal atrial defibrillation for acute (n = 14) or chronic AF (n = 63). Shocks were delivered in 40-V increments between electrodes positioned in the coronary sinus and the right atrium until successful conversion or a maximum of 400 V was reached. The shock strength versus success of shock data were subjected to a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis combined with a nonparametric probability analysis to arrive at the dose-response relationship. Using this relationship, comparisons were made between acute and chronic AF and clinical relevant conversion percentages (20, 50, 80 and 95%) were estimated and were compared with the conventional mean threshold. There were significant dose-response relationships in both patients groups (P < 0.05). The Kaplan-Meier analysis comparing patients with chronic and acute AF showed significant differences in their dose-response relationships (P < 0.001). The estimated shock intensity for 95% conversion in patients with acute and chronic AF was 279 V (2.9 J) and 433 V (6.6 J), respectively (P < 0.001). The conventional mean defibrillation threshold in patients with acute (192 ± 15 V. 1.4 ± 0.2 J) and chronic AF (343 ± 8 V, 4.4 ± 0.2 J) predicted the 60% and 45% chance of successful conversion, respectively. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that single shock conversion data can be used to determine a dose-response relationship, which can be used to estimate the shock intensity required for specific successful atrial defibrillation efficacy and to compare different clinical factors that affect defibrillation efficacy.
