Cardioversion or Ablation? Or Neither?
The decisions I’m confronting now are whether to undergo a
cardioversion
and then possibly later an ablation. Given that my AF is persistent, I can’t expect my heart to go back into sinus rhythm on its own.

So here we go again…(well sort of)
The catheter
cardioversion
fixed that three weeks later and then things were perfect until September 2019. Flecainide kept things completely clear until this year when I have had half a dozen short lived episodes, stopped with additional Flecainide to the daily 100 mg.

Back into AF after 4 days. DEVASTATED. Though had a feeling it would happen.
Thought I was being careful. Didn't leave home for 2 days, local shops 3rd day, then yesterday walked slow n steady about a mile into town N bus back. Heart kicked out around midnight. Don't know if I went out too early, felt OK at the time. HR went up maybe a little more than my usual for such light

Atrial Fibrillation
My cardiologist attempted
cardioversion
but after 3 failed shocks gave up and turned to medication. I have had an EP study with the hope of an ablation on the AV node. The EP study revealed that no ablation was needed but i do have a common atrial flutter.

Holter Fun
Yesterday bought forth the joys of a holter monitor fitting and a pre-
cardioversion
Covid test. Pleasant young guy doing the fitting and apologised profusely as he said I would need to lift my top up.

Return of the Duck - Revenge of the Beak
Its 4 months tomorrow since I had the ablation and I am still clinging onto the hope that the blanking period is a bit longer for me and I'm hoping that the
cardioversion
is just something correcting a blip rather than it being a fail. Anyone else had a
cardioversion
following ablation?

Cardioversion
Had my cardio version yesterday and it took 4 hours from the time I booked in to going home. Most of time was spent pre and post procedure in the recovery room and the next room where they give you T or coffee + biscuits, then into discharge room. I was in that room over an hour as I was in q waiting

Meds and ablation
Edoxaban ( for
cardioversion
) led to bleed in eye. They initially thought TIA but now being tested for glaucoma. Amiodarone led to underactive thyroid (unbelievable fatigue, worse than AF) and now on dronedarone. My question....can anyone else relate with this and the associated frustrations?

Checking pulse daily hugely beneficial
I’ve just seen a cardiologist, had an ultrasound and on the list for a
cardioversion
. It’s helpful being able to show the reports from which he could see why I only took the Nebivolol as needed and agreed with me.

RF Ablation and Cardioversion 48 hours later
This morning his consultant has decided to action a
cardioversion
later today and I just wanted to ask if this is normal / unusual and if anyone has had any experience of it so close to the ablation?

Low resting heart
Following a
cardioversion
for persistent AF and a current prescription of Apixiban and Amiodorone my partner's resting heart rate is 38. Before the AF started her resting heart rate was around 50. Anyone else with a similar experience?

I had a
Cardioversion
last November which worked , with the help of Sotalol ,. until a month ago I now find myself back on Amiodarone , 800mg for 3 days , now 200 mg for 15 days My question is , can I just let my heart beat in the rhythm it wants to without further interventions or more heavy drugs

CARDIOVERSION
I am having a
Cardioversion
within a few days. I understand it will be under full Sedation. I have never yet been fully under sedation. I had an Angiogram about a year ago, I felt alot of pain especially when the probe was in my Heart area. Injecting the Mild Sedation used did nothing.

Recently diagnosed with Persistent AF
I had a DC
Cardioversion
and kept in Sinus for 5 days before returning to AF. there is a 9 to 12 month wait here for an ablation. Is this OK, what sort of damage will it cause to my heart to wait that long..? Is it worth selling my first born and wife and paying for it..? Thanks...
