DC cardioversion (DCCV)

DC cardioversion (DCCV) is used to treat irregular heart rhythms (commonly atrial fibrillation). The procedure involves a general anaesthetic and placement of electrodes on the chest. An electrical impulse is passed across the electrodes to return the heart rhythm to normal.
