Cardioversion (for Atrial Fibrillation)
Visit our website to learn more about using Nucleus animations for patient engagement and content marketing: www.nucleushealth.com/?...
This 3D animation shows how an abnormal heart rhythm, such as atrial fibrillation (a-fib or afib), can be restored with electrical cardioversion. This animation shows normal heart rhythm with electrical signals that originate at the SA node. A heart with abnormal signals and atrial fibrillation is shown forming a blood clot which results in a stroke. Next, the steps of the cardioversion procedure are illustrated: the placement of EKG electrodes, the placement of cardioversion paddles, the delivery of shock to the chest and heart, and the restoration of normal electrical signals within the heart.

My mom is 89. She just had this treatment this morning. I could not be there because of work and I don’t think they let you in the hospital anyway due to Covid. My sister said that it went well and she’s already doing much better… Medical science is amazing… Wish I was smart enough to participate.

I've had it twice now . One time the irregular heartbeat was caused by too much sweating and not enough salts / electrolytes. Doctor said blot clots will only occur if not treated within 24 hours . Pardon the pun but my heart goes out to all with irregular heartbeats

I've had the cardio shock done 6 times now in a one year period after IV medications failed to correct the high heart rate. At one point they recorded a heart rate of 278! I was dizzy and the procedure worked all 6 times. It was explained to me that each time they shock me, scar tissue builds up and adds to heart damage so ablation is recommended.

I just had this done, & it worked from the first shock. I wish they did this, the first time I went to the emergency room 6 years ago, because of this same issue. I probably had irregular heart beat for over 15+ years. Before doing this shock treatment, they tried different IV drugs for 3+ days, to see if it convert with out doing this treatment, but it didn't worked. I am also on 2 medications, to keep it from coming back.
I've done ablation for this WPW syndrome and after the procedure i only had 1 episode of AF which lasted 25-30 minutes,but it stopped on it's own. After that i was plugged with an ECG holter for a 24-hour monitoring and sometimes the WPW was showing up,sometimes not so it is half-dead right now but it's still there. Point is after the ablation it's been modified so the response time of the WPW is about 400+ms so the speed is rather low i only get some "pumps" in the chest for like a second or something which is nothing. My personal advice is to have the electropsycial study and do the ablation procedure,.
Had this done to me while I was awake and no doubt the most painful thing I have ever felt.

@Astroboy1959 Thanks for sharing. Please ask your doctor if it's ok for you to take a daily aspirin to help prevent blood clots from forming in your atria, which is a risk of atrial fibrillation. These clots pose a risk of stroke if they break free and travel to the brain.

I had cardioversion done Jan 11, 2017 for a-fib. Doctor hit me 3 times with 200 joules and it my heart didn't go back into sinus rhythm. On Jan 13, 2017 the second doctor came in and did the cardioversion again. He hit me with 200 joules one time and my heart went back into sinus rhythm. They sedated me with propofol and I didn't know a thing, they only gave me enough to keep me out about 5 or 10 minutes. However 2 days after going back into sinus rhythm it went back into a-fib. They put me on XARELTO 20MG, DIGOXIN 0.125MG, CARVEDILOL 3.125MG and LISINOPRIL 5MG. It seems to be working well BUT, I'm going back in a week or two and I want to try the cardioversion again, hopefully my heart will stay in sinus rhythm this time.

The doctors were very kind. The intravenous anesthetic knocked me out instantly. There was no fear no sense of fading out into black or being trapped. I was just gone and woke up sometime later with the doctors standing around me in a circle saying Kevin wake up. Everything went OK. I couldn’t believe they’d actually done the procedure already. That was it. Painless and done. A lifelong Phobia tackled!!

No. Unless your home defibrillator has the “sync” button and ECG leads. Defibrillating (sending a shock when the r wave is not occurring) can send you into vfib and kill you.

I know this is old but for others. Usually if AF has been present for more than 48 hours, cardioversion wont be performed until after at least 3 weeks of anticoagulant therapy to minimise the risk of stroke and thromboembolism. In the Uk anyway.

PVC, Perfectly normal. There’s different causes but it can just happen. If they’ve found no abnormalities in the heart it’s most likely a one off PVC. It’s when the heart fills with to much blood and pushes it out very hard, causing the boom feeling, I’ve had it and I’m 16, had every cardiac check possible over 4 times, don’t worry too much

@personincognito3989

Артур Мудрик in a cardioversion the electrical shock is actually stopping the heart. It automatically restarts again hopefully in normal sinus rhythm. Each individual cardiac cell will beat individually. If you looked at it under microscope you could see one cell beating so the heart will automatically just start beating after it is stopped with cardioversion.

Hemodynamicaly unstable Afib SVT or atrial flutter is cardioverted. And VT and VFib are defibrillated
I think in 2000 I had this done 8 times that year
it works but it's not a cure. Had this done in 2021. Had to do ablations after that as the Cardioversion is simply a way to get your heart rate back into normality...while Ablation actially finds and disintegrates the problematic points in your heart that lead to abnormal rythm
Is this dangerous or not??
