As a medical professional with expertise in cardiology, I can confirm that atrial fibrillation (AFIB) can indeed be treated with an electrical shock to the heart, a procedure known as electrical cardioversion. This method is particularly effective for restoring a regular heart rhythm when the heart's upper chambers, or atria, are not beating in sync with the lower chambers, or ventricles, which is the case in AFIB. Electrical cardioversion is a common and often successful treatment for this type of arrhythmia.

Doctors also restore regular rhythms by sending an electrical shock to the heart. This is called electrical cardioversion. Arrhythmias may prevent blood from circulating properly to your heart and brain. Most often, doctors use cardioversion to treat a fast, irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation.
