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.
Problems with this electrical conduction system can cause an arrhythmia. Arrhythmias can cause the heart to pump less effectively because the coordination of the heart muscle becomes uncoordinated. Certain arrhythmias increase your risk of other medical problems like stroke or blood clots. In an arrhythmia, abnormal electrical signals through the heart muscle may cause the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or in an irregular manner. In any of these situations, the heart may not be able to pump an adequate amount of blood to the body with each beat.
