Is Pulse Field Ablation a Better Choice Than Cardioversion

I've had AF since 2021 and in my experience, the next step might be electrical cardioversion to more-quickly restore regular rhythm, which is called "normal sinus rhythm" or NSR. And after that, she might get an alblation [along with drug therapy or instead of drugs] to maintain NSR.

I've had four cardioversions. None of them put me in NSR for more than 16 hours, with the average only 4 hours. Cardioversions ARE useful for some people, and that's why they do them. But for many others, they simply are ineffective at correcting PACs or AF.
