Conclusion

The SMART Biphasic waveform cardioverted at higher rates than the
monophasic damped sine waveform at each step of the protocol, although the
cumulative biphasic rate after 4 shocks was not significantly different from
the monophasic rate. Tissue damage was more pronounced in the monophasic
population.
