I had a cardioversion about 3 months ago. My cardiologist switched from Xarelto (@20 mg) to Eliquis (@10mg). He informed me that Afib would return and recommended Watchman. I have seem msgs here that people who had cardioversion had gone 5 years without afib returning.
Good Luck

I have had 3 successful cardio versions however the 4th one failed. Two of the three worked for about 6 months or so. The other was 9 months. There were time gaps in between per waiting for various appointments, wearing monitors after each experience and the like to cross check the afib status. I am now in a search for the next step phase. It's been my understanding that the cardioversion duration varies highly from person to person.

Thanks for the reply. Cardioversion is the only procedure that is available in my local area so for now that is the best option. I am getting setup with a hospital (that is a plane ride away) that can provide the pulse field ablation procedure and if warranted, the insertion of a Watchman. Hopefully the cardioversion will keep my out of Afib until I can get other procedures set up.
