Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Subjects with atrial fibrillation

Subjects with atrial fibrillation that have been clinically scheduled for an electrical cardioversion procedure will have carotid ultrasound testing done before and after the procedure

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Carotid Ultrasound

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Uses sound waves to examine the blood flow through the carotid arteries and to determine the elastic properties or stiffness of the artery.
