Once you are asleep, the pads are synchronized with your heartbeat, and then a small amount of energy is delivered at the appropriate time to restore normal heart rhythms. The entire procedure takes just a few minutes, and you can usually go home the same day (you will need somebody to drive you). Please take all of your usual medications before a cardioversion (with sips of water), but have nothing else by mouth after midnight the night before.
