Everything You Know About Cardioversion

How It Works

Men, the chemical version is simple. You show up, get an IV, and your doc gives you the best meds to get you back on track! Great! So great. There's a bit more to the electrical one, but it's still simple. So simple! Men, you know what's coming! A nurse is going to get you ready with some electrodes on your chest. You've got to be attached to the right machine! They'll put in an IV too. But this time? It'll sedate you so you won't be awake for this one.

Once you're under, the doc's ready to get this procedure done. The machine you're attached to give them a recording of your heart. This is key! Men, it's the info your doc needs. The info will let them set the machine to send the best electric shock to your heart! The best one, the very best one! Once your meds wear off and you're awake, you'll be on your way home. Score!
