Cardioversion is performed when your heart is beating ineffectively. It's different from defibrillation, an emergency procedure that's performed when your heart stops or quivers uselessly. Defibrillation delivers more powerful shocks to the heart to correct its rhythm. Cardioversion is usually scheduled in advance but is sometimes done in emergency situations. Cardioversion is usually done with electric shocks, administered through electrodes attached to your chest, while you're sedated.
Heart rhythm problems can cause the feeling that the heart is âracing,â (palpitations), weakness, passing out (syncope), and sometimes death. Blockages in the coronary arteries can also cause major problems in the heart because they slow or stop the flow of blood to the heart muscle. If the heart does not get enough blood, pain (often called angina) or muscle death from a heart attack (myocardial infarction) can result.
