Experiences with

Cardioversion

Hi everyone, had my forth cardioversion two weeks ago had my first about 7 months ago lasted a week about 5 months ago had a ablation with two cardioversions that lasted a week my question is is it normal to get the odd eptopic in the first few weeks while everything's settling down had possible three

On my second Pacemaker within 2 years and been in permanent AF ever since, was at the PM clinic yesterday and was offered a cardioversion within the next 6 weeks.Anyone that's had cardioversion what's your experience? Did it cure your AF? Did it return? Or was the process unsuccessful?

Hi all, I know there is a lot of information available about cardioversion but I would be interested in people's experiences of this procedure as I've been advised to have it.

just had my 4th cardioversion which kept me in sinus for just a week now Afib returned was on flecainide,Nebivolo,,apaxiban - never had usual symptoms like thumping or palpitations - just tiredness - cardio tells me no point in another cardioversion or ablation - just take medication without flecainide

had first cardioversion in December 2024, which lasted 5 days. Next cardioversion is booked for next Thursday, hospital advice was rest for 24 hours, no alcohol or caffeine, no driving. After 48 hours back to normal. Any suggestions to try and prolong sinus rhythm would be appreciated

had a cardioversion may 2023 out of the blue I woke up hr was 225 and I felt like I was having a heart attack like I had a fish flipping inside my chest and couldn’t stand up properly, managed to get to ane in my car and had a cardioversion I was 29 at the time.

Wondering if this is from the bisoprolol, since the cardioversion, in that may not be needing it now?? Also my pulse has lowered to mostly 60 or upper 50’s…the lowest it went when resting was 52. (Was over 100 … up to 120 prior to cardioversion).

Had cardioversion in March (St Richards Chichester). Worked for less than a day. Had ablation in London in June. Started to improve but reverted back. Now EP proposes Cardioversion to see if that works. Does anyone have experience of this. ( I’m not holding out much hope!)

I had my cardioversion last week, it didn't work . I have heart failure, so they have put me on amiodarone then they will try another cardioversion in a few weeks .

He has never been offered a cardioversion or anything else and suffers from time to time with tiredness and some breathlessness which naturally impacts on and frustrates his sport (real tennis).

just wondering if anyone can give some tips prior to cardioversion. Am just waiting to have one (.when I don’t know?..)… but thought to ask others if there are any things that they did or were advised to do before the procedure.

If you have Atrial fibrillation (AF) you may have been offered a cardioversion, you maybe unsure of what to expect? A cardioversion is a procedure to convert your heart from AF back into normal (sinus) rhythm.

I’m considering a cardioversion as I’m to the point I will try anything to get my heart back into NSR but wondering if anyone here has had a cardioversion for arrhythmias other then Afid and if so, did it help?

I had a cardioversion 2 months later which lasted just over 2 years. I then got covid and a couple of weeks after I get covid again. Then I had another successful cardioversion back in February this year and been afib free.

Is it common practice for cardioversion patients to be treated with amiodarone both prior to and after being zapped.If so, how much is usually prescribed and for how long. Best wishes to all

I have just returned from a Arrythamia Pre Assessment Clinic with an appointmment on 27 sept for a DC Cardioversion. I have arrythmia but no ongoing symptoms having been put on blood thiners and beta blockers. My Echo did not show any issues.

I had a cardioversion about 3 weeks ago for Atrial flutter- it didn't work . when I had my heart scan it picked up moderate to severe hf , not sure if I'm going to get another cardioversion or a ablation.
