About Cardioversion

Cardioversion is a medical procedure performed by a cardiologist to restore a normal heart rhythm in patients with certain types of abnormal heartbeats, known as arrhythmias. The most common arrhythmia treated is atrial fibrillation (AFib), but it is also used for atrial flutter and other supraventricular tachycardias. The procedure involves delivering a controlled, timed electrical shock to the heart through paddles or patches placed on the chest. This brief electrical current momentarily stops all electrical activity in the heart, allowing the heart's natural pacemaker to restart and resume a normal, regular rhythm. Cardioversion is a planned, elective procedure often performed in a hospital setting under sedation to ensure patient comfort and safety.

Key Highlights

Effectively restores a normal heart rhythm in many patients with atrial fibrillation or flutter.Can quickly relieve symptoms like palpitations, shortness of breath, and fatigue.Helps reduce the long-term risk of stroke and heart failure associated with persistent arrhythmias.Is a relatively quick procedure, often completed within an hour.Performed under sedation, so the patient experiences minimal discomfort.

Who is this surgery for?

Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) that is new-onset, persistent, or causing severe symptoms.
Atrial Flutter with a rapid ventricular rate.
Other supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) that do not respond to medication.
To alleviate symptoms like dizziness, chest pain, extreme fatigue, or shortness of breath caused by the arrhythmia.
When medication (antiarrhythmic drugs) has failed to restore normal rhythm.
To improve heart function and reduce the risk of blood clots and stroke.

How to prepare

Blood tests to check electrolyte levels and kidney function.
An echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) to check for blood clots in the heart chambers.
Taking blood-thinning medication (anticoagulants) for several weeks before and after to prevent stroke.
Fasting (no food or drink) for 6-12 hours before the procedure.
Adjusting or temporarily stopping certain medications as advised by the cardiologist.
Arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure due to sedation.

Risks & possible complications

Dislodgement of a blood clot leading to stroke (minimized by proper anticoagulation).
Skin burns or irritation at the site of the electrode patches.
Temporary abnormal heart rhythms after the shock.
Rarely, worsening of the arrhythmia or the development of a new one.
Reactions to the sedative medication, such as breathing problems or nausea.
Low blood pressure following the procedure.

Recovery & hospital stay

You will be monitored in a recovery area for a few hours until the sedation wears off.
Vital signs and heart rhythm will be closely watched.
You may feel drowsy and should not drive, operate machinery, or make important decisions for the rest of the day.
You can typically resume normal diet and activities the next day, as advised.
It is crucial to continue taking all prescribed medications, especially blood thinners.
Follow-up appointments with your cardiologist are essential to monitor your heart rhythm and medication effectiveness.

Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (often same-day discharge)
Expected recovery time: 1-2 days for immediate post-procedure effects; several weeks for full stabilization on medications

PATIENT REVIEW

I've been seeing Dr. Muzammil for...

I've been seeing Dr. Muzammil for my lymphoma for over three years now. The first thing I noticed was how he never rushed. He’d sit, explain the scans in plain language, and actually remembered what we talked about last time. The hospital’s fancy, sure, but what matters is that I never feel like just another file on his desk. When my blood counts dipped last winter, his team called me before I even saw the report. That kind of consistency is what gets you through this.
