AVNRT cardioversion

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

In very rare instances, cardioversion (the electrical restoration of a normal heart rhythm) is needed in the treatment of AVNRT. This would normally only happen if all other treatments have been ineffective, or if the fast heart rate is poorly tolerated (e.g. the development of heart failure symptoms, hypotension (low blood pressure) or unconsciousness).
