Cardioversion

Cardioversion is a medical procedure used to restore a normal heart rhythm in people with certain types of irregular heartbeats, like atrial fibrillation. It can be done with medication or by using electric shocks to the heart. During the procedure, electrodes are placed on the chest, and a controlled electric shock is delivered, which helps reset the heart’s electrical system. It’s usually done in a hospital setting and is often a safe and effective way to address heart rhythm issues, helping to improve symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.
