DC Cardioversion

DC cardioversion, also known as direct current cardioversion, is a medical intervention designed to restore a normal heart rhythm in cases of abnormal heartbeats, such as atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.

DC cardioversion is considered a swift and effective means of restoring normal heart rhythm. However, it's important to note that this procedure addresses the symptoms rather than the underlying cause of the arrhythmia. Consequently, additional treatments or medications may be recommended to manage the condition and prevent future occurrences. The decision to undergo DC cardioversion is based on factors such as the type and duration of the arrhythmia, the patient's overall health, and the potential risks and benefits associated with the procedure.
