So Cardio Version didn't work. Should I try ablation next>

If meds and cardioversion didnt work, ablation is probably next in line. What does the cardiologist/electrophysiologist think?

They must be out there in heartvalve land but i have not read a lot of accolades about cardioversion. Either type. Even the esteemed dr. Ai calls it a temporary fix. Happy i had my maze but had to be ripped open to get it.

Thanx Rich, I am speaking to my EP in November. He is talking about ablation.

I am having a cardioversion on October 22. Just a little nervous.

The procedure is a piece of cake. You go in and they give you a pill, and then you wake up with no more Afib. That's how mine went. And still no Afib 5 years out.

Question; is a pacemaker required after cardiac ablation? I am scheduled for ablation in September.

I had an ablation for SVT and needed no pacemaker. Although, in my own summation, my heart was not happy so let me know all the other problems the SVT was hiding!
