There are several types of cardioversion used to treat cardiac arrhythmias. One, a pharmacologic cardioversion (also known as a chemical cardioversion), uses anti-arrythmia medicine instead of electricity to treat arrhythmia. Then there is the synchronized electrical cardioversion, a form of cardioversion where the electric current transmitted to the heart is in a therapeutic dose at a specific time in the cardiac cycle. When resuscitating a patient in cardiac arrest, the defibrillation is quite successful for patients related pulseless ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.
