Treatment: Cardioversion
In some cases, atrial fibrillation can be corrected with an electric shock to the heart called a cardioversion. In severe emergency cases this may be the only choice to control the AFib. Medications may also be tried to do the cardioversion of your heart rhythm. If your AFib has been going on for more than 48 hours, you may not be a candidate for cardioversion as your risk of having blood clots that could lead to stroke is increased.Share this
