Types of Cardioversion

Frequently Asked Questions

Is cardioversion painful?

You're given sedation so you're asleep during the brief shock and won't feel or remember the procedure itself.

Will I need blood thinners before the procedure?

Often yes, especially if the abnormal rhythm has lasted more than 48 hours, to reduce the risk of a blood clot being dislodged when the rhythm is restored.

Does cardioversion cure the underlying arrhythmia?

Not necessarily; it restores normal rhythm in the moment, but the arrhythmia can recur, so ongoing medication or further treatment like ablation may still be needed.

How long does the procedure take?

The cardioversion itself takes only a few minutes, though you'll typically be observed for a few hours afterward before going home.

Is this the same as a defibrillator shock during a cardiac arrest?

No, cardioversion is a planned, controlled procedure for a stable but abnormal rhythm, unlike the emergency defibrillation used during cardiac arrest.
