Non-surgical Procedures for Atrial Fibrillation (AFib or AF) Electrical cardioversion is a procedure in which a patient receives an electrical shock on the outside of the chest (while under mild anesthesia) using either paddles or patches. The shock can be used to âresetâ the heart to a normal rhythm.
Another arrhythmia treatment is called maze surgery. For this surgery, the surgeon makes new paths for the heart's electrical signals to travel through. This type of surgery is used to treat atrial fibrillation, the most common type of serious arrhythmia. Simpler, less invasive procedures also are used to treat atrial fibrillation.
