Question

A client with an atrial dysrhythmia has come to the clinic for a follow-up appointment and to talk with the health care provider about options to stop this dysrhythmia. What procedure could be used to treat this client?

Answer 1

Elective electrical cardioversion

Step-by-step explanation:

People have elective cardioversion to treat arrhythmias. The electrical signals that control the heartbeat start in the upper right chamber of the heart (atrium). In atrial fibrillation, very fast, irregular electrical signals move through both of the upper chambers of your heart.

Various studies have reported that elective electrical cardioversion is over 90 percent effective in helping people return to a normal sinus rhythm during the procedure. However, many people revert back into AFib( Atrial fibrillation) shortly thereafter.
