| I've had heart fibrillation, but they gave me an electric shock, and it went back to its right place. |
| Patients with atrial fibrillation also had more drug days for diuretics and for electrolytes. |
| The resultant irregular rhythm may be difficult to differentiate from atrial fibrillation. |
| Defibrillators treat ventricular fibrillation by delivering an electric shock to the chest, and so indirectly to the heart. |
| Patients should be monitored for an exacerbation of atrial fibrillation or flutter, and for increasing ventricular rates. |
| Atrial fibrillation can also be treated with cardioversion, which involves a controlled electric shock to the heart. |
