Hi! I had a stent fitted 9 years ago after heart attack, had no problems. 6 months ago I went into AF. Taking blood thinners and solatol blocker. After 5 months had cardioversion, 2 shocks, went back into sinus rhythm. This lasted 4 days, then developed supraventricular ectopy, then back to AF. Now taking amiodarone and told repeat cardioversion in 6 weeks, if good then ablation, but there is a 6 month waiting list for this.....anyone had a similar problem, any ideas on alternatives? TIA
