How is your chronic atrial fibrillation being treated?

Posted by scaredkat @scaredkat, May 12 1:15pm

I have had chronic atrial fibrillation persistent for the last six years. My ejection fraction is about 35 to 40%. My question is how long have you had atrial fibrillation. What is your ejection fraction and how do you feel? My doctor is suggesting that I get a cardioversion, but I do not feel it to be appropriate since I have had persistent a fib for the last 5 to 6 years. As for now, I do not have any symptoms such as edema or shortness of breath.Do you have any thoughts on any of these any feedback is much appreciated.
