Electropulse therapy

How does cardioversion work? The essence of the electropulse therapy procedure is that electric current pulses stimulate the heart muscles and restore its contractility. When electrical impulses enter the myocardium, a strong contraction occurs, which helps remove blood from it and pump a new volume of blood into it. A special device is used for this. A doctor must be able to operate this equipment; it is he who will perform this procedure on the patient. Today, several types of devices are used to carry out the procedure, but the most common is called a Cardioverter-Defibrillator. Moreover, each device can not only perform defibrillation, but also some other additional therapeutic techniques (for example, it can stimulate electrical stimulation of the heart). As a result, the patient feels better and continues to live with minimal health problems (myocarditis or heart failure). The procedure is carried out in the intensive care unit or in the intensive care operating room according to indications, if a person has lost consciousness from a heart attack, therefore, in case of a heart attack and in general
