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?

Thoughts on AF during blanking period, post ablation.
As someone who benefited from a
cardioversion
during the blanking period it’s good to know this approach is being explored and studied.

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 fail.
cardioversion
on Saturday. AFib back on Wednesday. May try another with medication before and after. Had been told persistent AFib CV has a 60% failure in first 2 weeks so not unduly surprised. Still very disappointed after all the wait.

Fluid build up
My partner is scheduled for a
Cardioversion
no fixed date but should be 6 days after preliminary appointment which is on 13/3/24. He has a lot of fluid building up in his legs and probably elsewhere. My question is does anyone know if having fluid will stop the
Cardioversion
from going ahead.

Looking for feedback regarding Asymptomatic Afib
Given my failed
cardioversion
my cardiologist discussed the option of an elective admission for either sotalol or amiodarone loading and a repeat

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

Cardioversion for irregular but normal range heartbeat
From posts read it seems most who have
Cardioversion
have episodes of higher rate HB. My questions please: -For those who with normal range HB what was your success period of NSR if any at all. -Of this group who was prescribed additional medication post
cardioversion
.

Lopressor
Was fine on 25/25 but that was when I was in NSR after
cardioversion
for two years. Now
cardioversion
does not work. Symptomatic on higher doses Wobbly blurred vision etc. Also on Eliquis. Has anyone had experience with Pulmonary Vein Isolation Ablation? I may be a candidate for this.

Cardioversion experience
Mine is due soon. Would really appreciate some feedback on forum members actual experience both on the day and the the following couple of weeks. Would also be good to know who had new medication straight away afterwards to try and make the procedure successful. Thanks for any contributions.

The arrhythmia nurse wants me to reduce my bisoprolol dose after my cardioversion - fear of early relapse.
I had a 2nd successful
cardioversion
5 days ago, and the arrhythmia nurse told me to reduce my dose of bisoprolol immediately from 7.5mg to 5mg as my heart rate was around 50bpm.

Two weeks after ablation and I'm on the list for a cardioversion
Is there a realistic chance I'll go into, and stay in, normal rhythm before the
cardioversion
? I know it's early days but the nurses have clearly decided to have an intervention in place if needed.

Hot weather
Hi all, I had af a while back, had a successful
cardioversion
and was back in sinus for 7 or 8 months. I have a holiday home in Turkey and have been here for 8 weeks. A week ago my af returned. If I lay on my bed with the aircon on for a while I return to sinus.

Travel while in Afib
I've been in persistent AF for probably a year (except for three days in February when I had a successful
cardioversion
before I fell back out of sinus rhythm).

Follow up after cardioversion
Hi all, I had my first
cardioversion
in February. It was done privately as I was in a ‘holding pen’, according to my GP. (Waiting to see a cardiologist ) I was in continuous AF for six weeks, for the first time. Anyway, this procedure was successful and I am now two months in.

Ablation cancelled due to my weight!
He is going to book me in for a 2nd
cardioversion
in 6 - 8 weeks - so with the change in medication and the new attempt to lose weight, we'll see how the next few weeks pan out!
