Continue meds after successful CV?

[jayjaybee]

Hubby had successful Amiodarone assisted DCCV in Nov 16. Has now been off amiodarone since Feb 17 and in NSR since. He is taking ramiprl (to support heart not due to blood pressure), diltiazem and apixaban. What does the forum think about continuing meds when in NSR?

Since none of the drugs you mention are rhythm control drugs I'm not sure why you ask. DCCV is not a cure for AF merely a re-set of the heart and these drugs are there to help it along. One can only hope this continues.

Thanks for you insight Bob

Many thanks. Seen GP today who is obviously reluctant to change meds recommended by consultant, so we will continue.
