Cardioversion, the electric shock to the chest wall, is usually performed emergencies. This device briefly suspends the heart's activity and allows it to return to a normal rhythm

Electrical conductivity is a physical property, not a change.
Oxygen. Carbon as diamond is a good electrical insulator, (graphite is an electrical conductor), silicon is a semiconductor so has limited electrical conductivity and aluminium is a metal and a good electrical conductor.
Defibrillation also known as cardioversion.

During the process of cardioversion, an electrical shock is delivered to the heart in an attempt to change an irregular heart beat rhythm into a normal one.
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.
Management options for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation includes cardioversion with drugs, electrical cardioversion, medications for maintaining a normal heart rhythm and heart rate control, atrioventricular node ablation, radiofrequency catheter ablation, surgical maze procedure, and medications for preventing blood clots.
Unfortunately, in a number of cases, the heart prefers its abnormal rhythm and reverts to it despite cardioversion.
Cardioversion is used to stop this abnormal beating so that the heart can begin normal rhythm and pump more efficiently.
From the related link, Synchronized Cardioversion is: --A controlled form of defibrillation for patients who still have organized cardiac activity with a pulse.
Ventricular tachycardia lasting more than 30 seconds and ventricular fibrillation require immediate cardioversion.
in about 50% of cases, the heart prefers its abnormal rhythm and reverts to it within one year, despite cardioversion.
