Cardioversion Shocks Heart Back to Normal Rhythm

Cardioversion is a procedure that treats arrhythmia, an irregular or fast heartbeat. The goal is to restore the heart to a normal rhythm. During a cardioversion, electrode pads send a split-second shock to the heart, which interrupts the abnormal heart rhythm, so the heart can start beating normally again. In many cases, a normal heartbeat returns. This short video clipped was capturing during an actual cardioversion at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Utah.
