The video above shows the synchronized cardioversion for atrial fibrillation. 
Cardioversion is defined as a “synchronized DC discharge, and does not apply to ventricular defibrillation or to the pharmacological reversion of arrhythmias.
The video shows a video of an actual male patient suffering from atrial fibrillation. The cardiologist and the nurses are involved in the process of synchronized electrical discharge.

The heart is a muscle that contracts in rhythmic sequence for the duration of our lifetime.
Each beat is stimulated by an electical signal that is generated by the heart's conduction system.
Sometimes the conduction system can change it's performace. The video shows the path of
electrical signal. Atrial fibrillation is abnormal heartbeat caused by erratic electrical signal
originating from the atria. In people who experience this problem, the hearbeat can go upto
175 beats per minute. This condition is commonly treated with a pace maker.
