Atrial Fibrillation/Flutter Induced by Implantable Ventricular Defibrillator Shocks:

Atrial Fibrillation/Flutter Induced by Defibrillator Shocks. Introduction: We evaluated the incidence and energy dependence of atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF) induced by implantable ventricular defibrillator shocks in 63 patients tested in the operating room or electrophysiology laboratory.
