Cardioversion / HCM
After 6 weeks of real breathlessness and being unable to walk I had the Electro
cardioversion
procedure. It was slick and painless but I didn't get an instant result. It took at least 3 days until the heart slowly recovered.

Question about Ablation
I am 27 years old, 140 lbs, and have been diagnosed with Lone Afib for 6 years now. Had 3-4 episodes around age 21 due to heavy drinking and doing P90X (weight lifting) for a few days which triggered Afib. Had 2 cardioversions and both were successful. Have been on 50 mg Metoprolol & baby aspirin ever

Newbie and struggling
After my diagnosis which occurred during my routine heart check, I was admitted immediately for a
cardioversion
, they had 4 attempts but my heart refused to go back into NSR, even for a short period. I was discharged on a high loading dose of Amiodorone, now down to 200mg a day and on warfarin.

Rate vs Rhythm for Post-op AF: Neutral Trial, Positive Message
Of the 523 people who developed postoperative AF and were randomized, there was almost exactly half-and-half distribution of rate control vs rhythm control, meaning beta-blockers vs amiodarone, with or without
cardioversion
. Dr Mandrola: Multiple centers?

I am in permanent a-fib. I am trying to find help for the breathlessness it causes. I have had 3 cardioversions - they didn't work - one lasted 2 days. I am on metropolol, losartan, lipitor, xarelto, lasix, klor con and tikosyn. I am too old for an ablation procedure - 85-year-old female. Any suggestions

congenital repair leads to problems decades later
Three days and a boatload of meds later, I reverted back into normal rhythm (skipping the
cardioversion
by hours). Doctors are convinced that the repair on my heart as a child caused scar tissue which caused the flutter. Untreated (had no symptoms) caused the other problems.

AF and breathlessness
I recently saw a EP from Birmingham who wants to have a
cardioversion
done before considering an ablation. He ask for me to be put on Amiodarone with a view to having this done. I was unable to tolerate this drug due to the breathlessness it left me with after two days and I stopped it.

Introduction from AF sufferer - since 2012
The next few months saw several other trips and hospital stays usually just overnight or a couple days plus one more
cardioversion
that also failed. Then I saw a private specialist at Papworth and was put on Flecanide which was better and kept the AF controlled at least some of the time.

Atrial tachycardia
Hello I am 49 and have had 2 cardioversions and 3 ablations over the last 4 years. Prior to my AF I was fit and well and a keen runner.

What to do about working
I couldn't have another
cardioversion
at that time because my INR wasn't in range. After being at my wits end with it and pestering my AF nurse, the sotalol was prescribed and after 2 doses my heart rate dropped to mid 60's., thank goodness!

Post ablation holiday
When I had problems last year with a fast heart rate that led to heart failure, all they did was keep doubling my Bisoprolol until it was so bad I went for a
cardioversion
. So maybe I'm worrying for nothing What can happen in 10 days? I'd really value some opinions. Thanks

Meds vs Ablation
Unfortuntately, shortly thereafter on February 15, I had a significant event with elevated heart rate of 160 and and irregular rhythm which required another ER visit and
cardioversion
.

A positive note
He was started on Apixaban and four weeks later had a
cardioversion
that lasted ten days. A week later he was put on Amiodarone which put him back into sinus and kept him there. The cardiologist advised him to come off Amiodarone and the other drugs, leaving him only on the anti-coagulant.

What should I do.
I had a
cardioversion
in December which lasted June 2015 when I saw the cardiologue again. At this point I was taking diltiazem and flecainide. She told me that I was back in arrhythmia, to stop the flecainide and take the diltiazem twice a day. I saw her again two weeks ago.
