Electrical Cardioversion at Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic in Dubai, Marina JBR

Electrical Cardioversion is a highly effective procedure designed to restore a normal heart rhythm in individuals experiencing arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation (AFib) or atrial flutter. It involves delivering a precisely timed electrical shock to the heart to correct irregular heartbeats and improve overall cardiac function.

At Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic, located in Dubai Marina – JBR, our experienced cardiologists and medical team specialize in advanced arrhythmia treatments, including electrical cardioversion, ensuring safe and optimal outcomes for our patients.

What is Electrical Cardioversion?

Electrical Cardioversion is a medical procedure that uses controlled electrical energy to reset the heart’s rhythm. Unlike defibrillation, which is used for emergency situations, cardioversion is a planned, non-emergency procedure performed under monitored conditions.

When is Electrical Cardioversion Recommended?

Electrical cardioversion is commonly recommended for patients experiencing:

Atrial Fibrillation (AFib): A rapid, irregular heartbeat that can increase the risk of stroke or heart failure.
Atrial Flutter: A condition similar to AFib, with a more regular but still abnormally fast rhythm.
Other Supraventricular Tachycardias (SVT): Rapid heartbeats originating in the upper chambers of the heart.

It is typically suggested when symptoms like palpitations, shortness of breath, or dizziness significantly impact quality of life or when medications have not been effective.

How Does the Procedure Work?

Preparation:
- Patients may need to fast for several hours before the procedure.
- Blood-thinning medications may be prescribed to reduce the risk of blood clots.
- Anesthesia or sedation is administered to ensure patient comfort.
Procedure:
- Small electrode pads are placed on the chest or back.
- A synchronized electrical shock is delivered to the heart using a defibrillator, targeting the optimal moment in the heart’s cycle.
Post-Procedure:
- The patient is monitored for a short period to ensure stable heart rhythm.
- Most patients can return home the same day, though follow-up appointments are recommended.
