Hopping Mad
My six week follow up for a
Cardioversion
last October was originally scheduled for 5th March which by any stretch is well over six weeks. Had a letter this morning saying this has been cancelled and a new appointment made for 16th July, a full nine months from the original procedure.

Drugs didn't bring the rate down so I did get a
cardioversion
24 hrs later. Im home now, very tired and on 240mg Diltiazem and Rivoraxaban. A fourth ablation is needed due to the fact that my heart heals too well after the previous 3 ablations.

New criteria for an ablation recently published in medscape
New Patient Criteria Among the proposals: No patient would be able to undergo more than one 'redo' procedure without review carried out by experts external to the organisation Ablation for persistent AF would only be offered if the patient had a successful DC
cardioversion
(DCCV) beforehand, and

Cardioversion without blood thinners
I had a
cardioversion
6 months ago for Atrial Flutter at Hammersmith hosp which went well I thought until a few days ago when I went to A&E with palpitations.

Cardioversion
If he is in NSR mist of the time will they still do
cardioversion
or is it even worth trying it? Thanks

Anxious and Scared- Possible Heart Failure and Afib
I had my fourth episode of Afib last week and had a
cardioversion
and am in NSR. For that I am grateful. The did the BNP blood test and it was super high so the hospitalist diagnosed me with congestive heart failure.

Ablation then Cardioversion and conflicting Flecanide prescription
My Ep directed me to take it along with my other meds, he couldn’t do the
cardioversion
so had a colleague do it instead and his colleague said not to take flecanide under any circumstances and for me to not take one of my BP tablets either ...

Chasing up cardioversion.
I rang today, nothing on the
cardioversion
appointments list, could only find a discharge letter saying I didn't require any treatment and signed by a different Dr to the one I had in my hand when I was discharged!

Does Afib go on to become heart failure
On Xarelto, Bisoprolol and Amlodipine for life for both conditions now and I have had one
cardioversion
, which lasted three days. They don't know if PE caused the afib, or the afib caused the PE - I suspect the latter as I had had a couple of episodes of very fast heart rate prior to the PE.

Pros & cons of a catheter ablation for AF
I’ve had AF diagnosed for several months, and the
Cardioversion
I had reverted back into AF. The second one is holding with the help of a drug, but I’m being recommended an ablation.

Flecainide
I have been advised to try a second
cardioversion
with the aid of flecainide one week before and 2 weeks after- in preference to using amiodorone which I do not like the sound of - would flecainide be more user friendly than amiodorone ? any thoughts appreciated thanks

Stressed about upcoming Cardioversion
If I take it at 6am it will clash with my thyroxin and it will be 5 hours before I normally take it and 7.5 hours before the
cardioversion
appointment. I don't know what to do. I would be happier taking my Appixaban at the normal time, not so early as this.

Slow pulse, and reducing Bisoprolol leading to lower BP
I had a successful
cardioversion
nearly 3 weeks agoand following that, my pulse got slower and slower - sometimes down to 44. I saw a GP a week ago and he reduced my bisoprolol from 10mg to 8.75mg. My pulse has gone up a little - lowest recently has been 46, and more often 50 or occasionally 52.

Should I have a PVI ablation?
I have had PAF occasionally over the past 40 years - am now 63- had a limited ablation in 2010 which improved the situation but did not eradicate all PAF - since going semi retired in 2013 have become a lot more active with sports and some jogging and PAF has generally improved - also any PAF episodes

Amiodarone
Sorry it’s me again Just rung up to chase my
cardioversion
to find my cardiologist has recommended an urgent
cardioversion
but he wants me to be on amiodarone pre
cardioversion
. I am scared as I have read how bad it is. Is this unusual to take this first.

I'm new here and to AF
I have an echo booked for the end of the month and I am then hoping to have a
cardioversion
(they did say booked it but I don't think they have as yet). I was just wondering if anyone had any coping mechanisims for dealing with this in the interim? Neil

ABLATION PLUS 12 MONTHS
Had a type of SVT for 23 years, progressively getting worst, taking increased Meds, then this ablation for Aflutter (this flutter was bad, had the crash team called whilst in hospital and a
Cardioversion
2 days later), that turned out to be MAT which could not be fully ablated - though much ablating
