Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Automatic rhythms (ectopic atrial tachycardia, MAT, sinus tachycardia), unlike reentry arrhythmias, are not responsive to electrical cardioversion.
Detailed explanation-2: -An electrical cardioversion, often referred to simply as a cardioversion, is a procedure used to treat an abnormal and rapid heart rhythm (also called a cardiac arrhythmia). The most commonly treated arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cardioversion is done to correct a heartbeat that’s too fast (tachycardia) or irregular (fibrillation). Your health care provider may recommend cardioversion if you have certain heart rhythm disorders, such as atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
