Cardioversion
Cardioversion is a procedure that uses an electrical shock to restore a normal heart rhythm. It is used to treat a variety of heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and ventricular tachycardia.
How is Cardioversion performed?
Cardioversion is performed under general anesthesia. The patient is given medication to make them sleep, and then a small electrical shock is delivered to the heart. The shock resets the heart's electrical activity and restores a normal heart rhythm.
