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.
This treatment is called defibrillation (de-fib-ri-LA-shun). An ICD has wires with electrodes on the ends that connect to your heart chambers. The ICD will monitor your heart rhythm. If the device detects an irregular rhythm in your ventricles, it will use low-energy electrical pulses to restore a normal rhythm.
