Cardioversion is a medical procedure used to restore a normal heart rhythm in patients experiencing certain types of arrhythmias, most commonly atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. It can be performed electrically, using a controlled shock delivered to the heart through paddles or patches on the chest, or pharmacologically, using medications to stabilize the heart's rhythm. The goal is to convert the irregular heartbeat back to a normal sinus rhythm, improving blood flow and reducing the risk of complications. Cardioversion is generally safe and is often done in a hospital setting under sedation.
