cardioversion is effective in most tachycardias - the exceptions are incessant arrhythmias (arrhythmias which are present most of the time and stop and start spontaneously) and torsades de pointes
it is not necessary to use cardioversion for many arrhythmias e.g. junctional tachycardias, because they respond well to pharmacological treatment
may be required to convert atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter to sinus rhythm
