Rate Control for Cardioversion?
I have been in persistent Af for almost 3 months with my
cardioversion
date set for April 13, eleven days from now. On Rivaroxaban as an anti-coagulant. On 120 mg of Verapamil for rate control but no rhythm control prescribed.

Permanent AF
flecanide with the plan to give me IV Digoxin if the flecanide didn't work, some time after this a Dr told me I shouldn't have flecanide as it could give me a heart attack, some time later at my prompting I was given oral Digoxin which eventually slowed the heart rate, but I was still in AF, I asked about

Chemical Cardioversion with Amiodarone tablets
I have been free of unstoppable AF for two years, since an electrical
cardioversion
. I had not heeded the warning signs: several incidents in the last few weeks of Classical Tachycardia.

Cardioversion yesterday
As previously posted I had asymptomatic atrial flutter and bradycardia for 6 months and 3 years respectively. Following the CV I emerged without flutter but with bradycardia. 46 BPM. Previously bradycardia only occurred some hours after exercise. I think the shock of the CV has had the same result as

Post ablation woes... can't believe this
I had EKG and electrocardiogram that was "read" the next day by a visiting EP who became my EP until a few weeks ago when I underwent
cardioversion
by the same EP.

Hospital visit
The upshot of this is that I am booked in for an urgent
cardioversion
, that I discovered that they are not sure what to do for the best, that I am a therapeutic challenge, and that the consultants don't agree on the best way forward.

Cardioversion before ablation?
I must have a
cardioversion
first before I can be referred to the electrophysiology department or "They will ask why it hasn't been done."

finding it hard to take a deep breath!
Had a successful
cardioversion
for trial flutter on Thursday and all seemed to be going well! I took a walk this morning and was glad to get back as I felt it difficult to take a deep breath in, not as bad after I rested.

Persistent AF(ib) after Ablation
EPs won't do a
cardioversion
yet because of cardiac inflammation following the ablation. So if anyone can help with my questions, I would be really grateful. While I understand that ectopics and some AF are likely after ablation, is my experience normal?

Travel insurance and cardiversion
I recently had an unsuccessful
cardioversion
( reverted to af after 11 hrs) I am due to go to Spain for a month in May. Although my insurance company are aware of my persistent AF I haven't informed them I have had a
cardioversion
. My question is .....do I need to inform them of the
cardioversion
?

Hybrid Ablation...
The
cardioversion
I had last April worked for the first couple of hours, giving me an insight as to 'back to normal'. I would like to know other afib sufferers experiences with hybrid ablation, particularly how it affected your life after the first procedure. thanks

anxious about my heart ultrasound scan
I am due to have a
cardioversion
next Thursday 9th March. In the meantime have got a really bad cold and wheezy chest. Doc has given me some antibiotics and steroids to try to get me to my appointment.

Cardioversion only, or ablation for flutter.
The plan is
cardioversion
in 2 weeks but I am wondering whether to go for ablation on the basis that it may provide a longer term solution. I don't see a downside to
cardioversion
but my atrium is already moderately enlarged and I understand it may normalise if the flutter can be eliminated.

Ablation or not for Persistent AF?
Hi, I know this has been asked many times, but from my perspective it is a difficult decision. I am in persistent AF, had two failed cardioversions, BUT am generally asymptomatic and only 48. I saw an EP today said he said it he would do the ablation if I wanted it, however there is only a 50% chance

Ablation for ectopics?
'Upgraded' to A.Fib. around 1996, temporarily alleviated by
cardioversion
several times, and ultimately relieved by propafenone (ectopics largely suppressed also) and returned in Aug. 2001.

Feeling startled?
This past week she went to the hospital due to her afib and in the end the doctor performed a
cardioversion
which got things back to normal. Now, she's home and feeling a lot better.
