A Dr. Douglas E. Severance, MD , Family Medicine, answered. Cardiologists usually treat atrial fibrillation, which is the most common type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia. An electrophysiologist is a cardiologist who specializes in arrhythmias. However, other kinds of doctors can also treat atrial fibrillation, and who you see usually depends on the type of health care plan you have.
Using Electrical Cardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation. Electrical cardioversion is a process by which the heart is shocked to convert it from an irregular rhythm back into a normal sinus rhythm. The EKG illustration shows what the heart rhythm looks like before and after cardioversion. For patients in persistent atrial fibrillation, electrical cardioversion may be done early in the process to stop the afib and put the heart back into normal sinus rhythm. For other afib patients, electrical cardioversion may not be tried until later, when medication has stopped working.
