Electrical Cardioversion (ESC), also known as Supraventricular Cardioversion, is a medical procedure that uses an electric shock to restore normal heart rhythm in cases of rapid, irregular heartbeats or life-threatening arrhythmias such as Atrial Fibrillation or Atrial Flutter. The procedure is typically performed under sedation and local anesthesia, and patients may require additional treatments like blood thinners beforehand to prevent complications.
