Yes, my sister died from cardioversion. The first time she had it she was fine, so she had no concern whatsoever when it was recommended the second time. However right after the procedure her blood pressure dropped and she was kept in the hospital all day while they tried to get her BP up. Sadly she died before nightfall. So yes there id certainly a possibility of death from cardioversion.

What prognosis exists for people diagnosed with black lung disease?
Those miners with simple CWP can lead a normal life. However, patients who develop black lung disease at an early age, or who have progressive massive fibrosis, have a higher risk of premature death.
Does alteration of DNA cause cell death?
It will depend on how the DNA is altered. If the introns are altered there should be no significant risk to the cell. If a single base is altered, but the codon still produces the same amino acid (silent mutation) - there will be no effect on cell function. A major change to DNA (such as a frame-shift or nonsense mutation) may affect vital protein products and this could lead to cell death.
What measure in addition to cardioversion may be necessary to prevent death and complications from cardiovascular causes?
anticoagulant therapy is important to reduce the risk of stroke and is appropriate therapy for patients who have recurring, persistent atrial fibrillation
Which is digoxin held before cardioversion?

The use of electrical shock to restore the heart's normal rhythm is known as?
Defibrillation also known as cardioversion.
What disorders is cardioversion used to treat?
Most often, cardioversion is used to treat atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Life-saving cardioversion can be used to treat ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.
What potential exists for a cardioversion to fail?
Unfortunately, in a number of cases, the heart prefers its abnormal rhythm and reverts to it despite cardioversion.
What is synchronized cardioversion?
From the related link, Synchronized Cardioversion is: --A controlled form of defibrillation for patients who still have organized cardiac activity with a pulse.
What does a cardioversion accomplish?
Cardioversion is used to stop this abnormal beating so that the heart can begin normal rhythm and pump more efficiently.
What conditions require immediate cardioversion?
Ventricular tachycardia lasting more than 30 seconds and ventricular fibrillation require immediate cardioversion.
Why is it often necessary to repeat cardioversion?
in about 50% of cases, the heart prefers its abnormal rhythm and reverts to it within one year, despite cardioversion.
