Amiodarone
Following the
cardioversion
my EP reluctantly put me on Amiodarone with the intent to wean me off in 4-6 months. He started me at 200 mg and after a month cut that back to 100 mg.

Ablation update and reassurances.
I felt worse than ever before but Doc said to take 200mgs amiodarone on the 5th and would schedule a
cardioversion
if I didn't go back into NSR in next couple days. Well, lo and behold, went into NSR on the 6th and been afib free since.

So my cardioversion on the 13th January lasted 3 days. Went back into AF asleep on the the third night.
She was concerned about my referral to Dr Hunter for a mini maze, and questioned why no one had talked to me to discuss what having coronary disease and AF together might mean if anything, or to see what would be next in the plan ie
cardioversion
with medication etc.

2 weeks after ablation - ectopics going a bit crazy!
Should I persevere without requesting further treatment or perhaps
cardioversion
? Should I bother my local a&e again when the ectopics are raging? Last few days even moderate exercise, usually not a problem for me, has become uncomfortable.

stay positive….
After having A.Fib for almost two years I had a
cardioversion
done on the 15 Dec last supported by six months on Amiodarone. My heart rate is now in Normal Sinus Rhythm and so far all's good. Had the Bisoprolol reduced from 3.75 twice a day to 1.25 twice a day and feel a lot more comfortable.

Still in HF?
Had
Cardioversion
and Cardiologist switched Beta blocker to Sotolol. 3 months passed and Echo showed EF increased to 45%. Still in NSR, and Cardiologist said stop taking Lasix. I am trying to lead healthier lifestyle. I can walk for an hour per day and don't have too many other restrictions.

Ablation done.
Remained in AF until
cardioversion
in May, established NSR but sadly for 2 days only. Subsequent echo and CT scan unearthed a bicuspid aortic valve with mild/moderate stenosis. No immediate concern from consultant around this, I am now on a monitoring plan.

Pacemaker Pending
Pacemaker to be implanted early next month. Have AFIB, mostly controlled the last year + but before then 3 Ablations and a few Cardioversions. Metronics monitor occasionally reports a slower than normally slow pulse. What should I anticipate and be aware of after this procedure? Thanks

4/52 post cryoablation and cardioversion
Hi all I was successfully converted into NSR following cryoablation plus
cardioversion
just under 4/52 ago at UHCW- Coventry - who were superb. I have taken things very gently since and followed the guidelines as per your fact sheet.

Ectopics and steroid cream
I’m 6 weeks post
Cardioversion
of Atrial Flutter . I’m getting ectopics most of the day it started to happen the night I took my wife to dinner. Had a zero beer and 1 zero wine but I guess both full of sugar. So far had them for 3 days the doctor gave me ECG to confirm not AF.

what might happen next please?
I went into AF a week ago and the chemical
cardioversion
hasn’t worked. I am being referred back to my EP but the waiting list for him is 3 months. If I am in persistent AF, will they still do the ablation? How long do I have before I can’t have an ablation any more?

Walking in rhythm
I was with him for almost 30 minutes and he sat facing me the entire time asking many questions and said I was too young at 63 to have only tried one
cardioversion
and no alternative solutions.

Help! New Symptoms after recent cardioversion.
I was also diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy… Bristol weren’t prepared to do an ablation so have been referred to St Barts in London where a discussion about an ablation and possibly pace and ablate will happen (also a chat about an AED) That’s the background… Anyway since my successful
cardioversion

Panicked
He didn't think
cardioversion
would be worth it and I agreed. As I normally just wait them out but lately I've been getting breathless on top of being very symptomatic. Arythmia nurses want me on amiradrone instead of dronedarone. Not kee. Due to see ep on 22 Feb about an ablation.

What would you do?
My AF was continuous until the beginning of January when thankfully I had a successful
cardioversion
. I've given up alcohol in the hope this will stop AF coming back although I know I will be extremely lucky if that's the case.

Discharged with a pat on the head.
Cardioversion
required to settle things down. Discharged 20th December 2020. A visit to my local hospital on 24th December 2020, breathing difficulties. CT scan showed blood clot on lungs. The story to skip forward to June 2022, breathing problems had continued since my procedure.

First Cardioversion procedure in Feb 23
I had phone call this morning telling me I had been booked for a
Cardioversion
on 02 Feb 23 at Barts hospital to try an correct AF. This will be the first one that I have ever had and to say I am not scared is an understatement.
