Lots of things can cause irregular heart beat. I assume you were using a automatic BP like I have that gives you your BP and pulse rate.

Does your husband also have PVCs. You mentioned only the AFIB.

Cardioversion correct the issue at the time you get it. It does not mean cannot return. I have a ACID/Pacemaker implanted and have had many shocks to bring me out of VFIB. Does not mean I cannot go back into it

Thx for your reply.
Husband had ablations for 2 Afib areas and 2 flutters. 3 weeks after, EP just did Cardioversion which he said was successful. I thought that meant shocked into regular heartbeats. We were surprised that BP machine showed good BP but irregular heartbeat that evening.

What’s the point of Cardioversion if irregulars remain?
