Yes, I have had three cardioversions, two were successful, one did not work. My sinus rhythm was restored with medications. I am researching ablations now, as my doctor has recommended that as a next step. I have been on warfarin for about 9 years.

Hello
How long did
the successful cardioversion results last?

Is it risky? U was told that the procedure is calculated by computer
Was there a cardiologist attending your cardioversion?
Any info is appreciated
ThAnk you

The first cardioversion lasted apx 3 yrs, the second one, about 2 yrs, the third one did not work, so the doctors tried medication, which worked after trying a number of combinations, and several days in the hospital to monitor the outcome. Yes, I had an EP doctor with many years experience, during each procedure. I have been in sinus rhythm since late April, and hoping that it will continue.

Hi did u have a cardiologist present during cardioversion and we're u on blood thinner wen u had CV done?
