AF Story
My echocardiogram was positive as my heart looked normal but I'm now awaiting a
cardioversion
. I'm not really anxious about having it done but the waiting time for an appointment is particularly frustrating. I pray that I can manage my diet and lifestyle in future but who knows.

Very informative discussion with cardiologist
The only option to get me back in NSR is a
cardioversion
(not a good option for me because of my spinal fusion). So going to A&E only useful if I am having extreme symptoms.

Change of plan
Had a letter yesterday for an appointment to revive
cardioversion
. On the 18th when I thought he was planning Ablation. Oh well start at the beginning I suppose.

NTproBNP blood test
One failed
cardioversion
. I'm 64 and in Wales. On Rivaroxaban 20mg for life, Bisoprolol 2.5mg twice a day and Amlodipine 5mg. Breathlessness has become worse gradually over time since spring this year. Was seen in Cardiac Clinic in October and will be seen again "in next few weeks" - January 2021.

Ablation after 3rd Cardioversion
Last week it was my third
cardioversion
and still feel some sort of arrhythmia after it. My cardiologist suggested to have an ablation...I'm skeptical about...I'm 82!

Difference between Afib and atrial flutter
I’ve been told by my EP that I have shifted from Afib to atrial flutter. I have had a cryoballoon ablation, two radio-frequency ablations, two cardioversions. I’m on metoprolol Tartrate and flecainide. What precisely IS the difference between Afib and flutter? Will a fourth ablation help?

Introduction
Had 2 blood clots in the heart, 2
cardioversion
. Have diabetes. Don't drink never smoked. And was as fit as an athlete once. To look at me you would think I look well. I suffer with all things you would expect with the disease. I would love any advice from people who recognise the same.

It seems to me that most people here have had one or multiple Ablations of one type or another.
I'm 71 years old and my Cardiologists have never recommended a
CardioVersion
or Ablation of any type here in the Toronto Canada region.

After 2 radiofrequency cardiac ablations, still have atrial fibrillation Afib
After one
cardioversion
without improvement, I got my 1st radiofrequency cardiac ablation in late 2018. But the problem not solved. After a year with medication, I took 2nd radiofrequency cardiac ablation (mainly for SVC vein this time) in March 2020.

Ablation failure? 1 year on
I took flecanide I had left from pre ablation when I got home but it didn’t help get me into NSR so after a few hours I phoned NHS 24 and was told to pop up to A&E. bloods were fine and I ended up having a
cardioversion
under sedation and have been in NSR since (no medication).

Artial Fibrillation
I was diagnosed with AF last month and had a cardovision via private healthcare, the
cardioversion
procedure hasn't worked fully and I still have AF. I've been recommended to have a second
cardioversion
with Amiodarone. Does anyone else have experience in this procedure. Thanks.

An update on EP refusing ablation because of obesity.
Hi. I have posted several times because my EP has told me I need to be under 13 stone to ablate. I am 18 stone. In my last post I was back in hospital and about to be sent home on rate control because the hospital had said the drugs don’t work and they wouldn’t give me any more electro cardioversions

Amiodarone and side effects
Hi everyone, I have just received a letter from my cardiologist saying that I am going to be put on Amiodarone to help keep me in rhythm after my
cardioversion
. After researching the drug I see it’s a black box drug with toxic nasty side effects.

Pacemaker update
I have never heard of the last one, I would have thought the
cardioversion
would damage the pacemaker. Has anyone heard of or had this procedure? Perhaps I misunderstood and the
cardioversion
comes first before the pacemaker is fitted.

First cardioversion successful!
I had my first
cardioversion
this morning and the first zap put me into NSR. I was amazed how quick and easy it was and the hospital staff at St Thomas’ were brilliant, well done the NHS. I’m to stay on my current medication until appointment with EP to discuss.

1st Cardioversion
I had my first
cardioversion
on Thursday and I’ve returned to afib today. I feel really disheartened about it. I was aware that
cardioversion
wasn’t a cure but I expected a longer period in NSR if I’m honest.

My first cardioversion is on Monday
I am booked in at St Thomas' hospital for a

Atrial Flutter and Cardioversion
I've stayed off work as advised by the cardiologist but I do wonder why I wasn't offered
cardioversion
in the interim while I wait for ablation. As I would have been able to return to work if it successfully put me back in sinus rhythm.
