Coming soonCardioversion of atrial fibrillation refers to the therapeutic termination of atrial fibrillation—a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia characterized by disorganized, rapid atrial electrical activation and an irregularly irregular ventricular response—to restore normal sinus rhythm.
It targets the cardiovascular system in patients experiencing hemodynamic compromise, acute heart failure, myocardial ischemia, or persistent, limiting symptoms such as palpitations, fatigue, dyspnea, and exercise intolerance.
Pathophysiologically, the underlying arrhythmia causes ineffective atrial mechanical systole, impaired ventricular filling, and blood stasis that elevates thromboembolic risk, prompting rhythm restoration to improve cardiac output and reduce arrhythmia-induced atrial remodeling.
