Cardioversion
Three hours after a
cardioversion
and all good so far, cross me fingers tightly, keeping me maintained on sotalol for six weeks to hopefully, give it time to remember the rhythm.

Cardioversion and PVCs and PACs
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?

cardioversion
How long do people take to feel ‘normal’ after a
cardioversion
? I will be driving for a good few hours for each break away and wonder how long should I wait after my
cardioversion
before driving long distances. Thanks in advance for any advice.

cardioversion
hi, I had my first
Cardioversion
at St Richards Chichester on 11th March. (First diagnosed early January but probably been in AF since Sept) It worked initially but reverted to AF very shortly after.

amiodorone first time
had successful
cardioversion
which lasted almost 2 years with the aid of flecainide ~ now back in AF and
cardioversion
arranged but amiodorone is to be used beforehand- I’m very put off by the side affects of this drug - am I over re- acting ?

Cardioversion
My cardiologist says that I should have a
cardioversion
as my heart has 4 second pauses. He says that the pauses are nothing to worry about at below 6 seconds. Do any of you have pauses like this?

First Cardioversion
He said I should have
cardioversion
as heart is all normal and good chance this was brought on by pregnancy. I have put off
cardioversion
for a month or so as I’m really nervous. Have never had GA and the thought of having my heart shocked scares me although they have said it’s a day procedure.

Post cardioversion
Hubby had his
cardioversion
yesterday. One zap and it worked, he felt tired but fine. Forward to today and his pulse is 40-47. If he walks round the house and does something it goes up to 65-70. He says it doesn't feel right but not sure if he should contact cardio department. Any help please?

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

can I fly less than a week after a cardioversion
I have been given a date for a
cardioversion
,which I’m really happy about but we will be flying to Majorca 5 days later. Should I ask to postpone the
cardioversion
or will it be ok?

flecainide versus amiodorone
I had a successful
cardioversion
using flecainide before and after that lasted 2 years but now AF has returned- I will have another
cardioversion
but because of my age ( 80) the hospital want me to use amiodorone instead - I wasn’t happy with this suggestion due to the toxic side effects of amiodorone

Treatment Options
In December, 2023 went into Afib and had
cardioversion
which lasted until mid January, 2024. Went back into Afib Jan 15/24, tried Flecainide and 2nd
cardioversion
2 days ago, which failed. Are there other treatment options to get out of Afib ?

AFIB caused heart failure?
I'm just trying to find some reason to give her hope that she will feel better once the
cardioversion
is done and her heart is back in a normal rhythm again.

Post Cardioversion advice
After 4 ‘failed’ ablations, I yesterday had a
cardioversion
for atrial tachycardia. I went back into NSR after only one shock on the lowest setting and my EP was pleased with how the procedure went. Does anyone have any advice about how I can try to stay in sinus?

Post Cardioversion
Well, after 3 years in Afib and a failed ablation I had a
cardioversion
just over a week ago, and I am pleased to say I am in Normal Sinus Rhythm ( well, fingers crossed )!..Just a point. I was a runner before getting Afib, so my pulse was always low ( High 40's, 50 )...

cardioversion
I am due to have cardio version and the doctor says that the risk of stroke increases after the procedure. I would welcome any more information on the risks so I can make a decision
