Cardioversion & Defribrillation |
|
Both Cardioversion & Defribrillation deliver an electrical shock to the heart. The shock can restore a normal heartbeat. Both types of treatment are
used in people who have abnormal heartbeats or heart rhythms, called arrhythmias.
Cardioversion is a lower-energy shock delivered to your heart. Cardioversion can stop a very fast arrhythmia
Defribillation is a high-energy shock delivered to your heart. You need this treatment if you have a very fast and chaotic arrhythmia in your hearts lower chambers (Ventricles).
The concept behind cardioversion and defribrillation is the same. Both types of treatment stop all electrical activity in the heart for a second. When the heart resumes beating, its electrical system often works correctly once again.
