Cardioversion

Featured Replies

So I like to know if anybody had a Cardioversion done and if you happy about it

I had one done 2 days ago and I feel like a new person went to hospital at 8am

back home at 1pm the procedure only took 10 minutes the rest was just filling

in forms and answering many questions to doctors and nurses, I got sedated

and woke up about 1 hour after that (I did not even realize I was asleep )

I have been checking my blood pressure for a long time (had high blood pressure)

and found out my heartbeat was to fast and irregular

so cut long story short went to the local GP and got a referral to the hospital

and the rest is history for people who don't know what Cardioversion is I

Where did you have it done and was it done with electricity or drugs?

 

I've had cardioversion done three times (in the U.S.) with electricity due to a problem in going into atrial flutter.  The first time they tried to use drugs to reverse the problem, but they didn't work.  The electricity did the trick right away.  Like you, I was sedated and woke up feeling very refreshed and relaxed.

 

After the third time (in a four year period), it was decided to fix the root cause of the problem and a cardiac ablation was done.  http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/cardiac-ablation/home/ovc-20268855   No future episodes of atrial flutter, although now (17 years later) I can go into brief episodes of atrial fibrillation if I'm sleep deprived.  

 

I've seen people in atrial fibrillation respond very well to medical cardioversion, with drugs introduced into an IV.  The results are immediate and dramatic.  They often report a warmth in the their body and/or a jolt in their chest as the drug works.
