Rivaroxaban
I was told to take Rivaroxaban 20mg for 3 weeks before and 3 weeks after my
cardioversion
. My GP said I can just come straight off the Rivaroxaban after this time and it will be out of my system in 24 hours.

Last chance saloon?
Now I've had numerous tests etc & am going for
cardioversion
on Tuesday, however I've been told that they don't expect it to work & I'm not going to be offered ablation.

Cardioversion
I'm after some advice, as the wife of someone that had a
cardioversion
on Friday evening. It was a complete success and he came home with no medication, great BP, no sign of any heart problems and a normal heart rate, but the physiological effects have been huge.

Cardioversion - Success rate and experiences
Can anyone share experiences of
cardioversion
- success stories or otherwise? I have read it's not hugely successful if AF has been present for a while. Any feedback would help please!

M/E v A/Fib
I now have persistent A/F, I had a
cardioversion
six weeks ago, it lasted eight days, I saw the E/P, who suggested it be tried again, this time taking Amiodorone, beforehand, I have heard that this is a pretty obnoxious drug, would welcome comments on this, I feel so very unwell, that I would try anything

Hello everybody
I was diagnosed with afib 6 months ago and am going for a
cardioversion
next week. I like to travel extensively so it's really set me back. I'm 57 and otherwise fit and healthy

An up date, 4 weeks post knee replacement- so far, very good!
Thans to all whose supportive replies strengthened my reslove to go ahead with the knee replacement three weeks after
cardioversion
for possible perimitral AF. The good news is that the op, performed under spinal anaesethesia, went smoothly with no sign of AF.

Update after developing AF
I had an echocardiogram, nothing much showed up on the results, then I got my first
cardioversion
which so far has been successful and I feel much better (still taking 5mg Bisoprolol and anti coagulation tablets).

Cardioversion
Going in Tuesday for my second

Hello - new here
I`m having my third
cardioversion
in a month or so (hence the Flecainide to help me stay in sinus aferwards). I`m in a-fib all the time until they 'spark' me again. Fingers crossed the next
cardioversion
lasts more than a few months.

Ablation Scheduled May 23 @ Duke Uni

I'm 37 with mild genetic HCM. 40+ Cardioversions over the last 10-15 years (Paroxysmal Afib with RVR due to HCM) have led me to Duke University and Dr. James Daulbert for a Afib Ablation on May 23rd. Emory Atlanta wanted go straight to a surgical approach with the Convergence Procedure. That was
