Probably.: I need to know why he is having the dc cardioversion. Why are they waiting a month? What medications is he on? Presumably, if they are waiting a month and have not told him to alter his life in any way in the meantime, it is safe to have sex, but he should be discussing these issues with his cardiologist.
