What is the difference between cardioversion and defibrillation for arrhythmias?

…organized tachyarrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and hemodynamically compromising ventricular tachycardia, while defibrillation (unsynchronized shock) is reserved for ventricular fibrillation…
