When the heart's electrical signals become irregular, several treatment options are available to help restore normal rhythm:

• Cardioversion (both electrical and medicated) can help reset heart rhythm
• Electrical cardioversion uses controlled shocks delivered through patches/paddles
• Medicated cardioversion uses antiarrhythmic drugs under hospital monitoring
• Sedation is provided before electrical cardioversion so you won't feel discomfort For more advanced cases, surgical procedures may be necessary. Ablation is a non-surgical procedure that targets and treats the specific heart tissue causing abnormal electrical signals. During ablation, small sections of problematic tissue are carefully destroyed or scarred to help restore normal heart rhythm. This can be done through different techniques like radiofrequency ablation or cryoablation.
