Re: First cardioversion - 1 year ago
I’ve had two cardioversions and both were successful in putting me back into rhythm. Yes, my afib returned some months after the first cardioversion. Having just had my second one, I have an ablation scheduled in April. For me, the cardioversion procedures were no big deal. You lie down and they put you to sleep. Then you wake up with, one hopes, your heart in rhythm again.by Nepertutto - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Sinus Rhythm with Wide QRS - 1 year ago
Hi Jeff. Last night my symptoms got so bad that I did go to the emergency room. It turns out that my heart and rhythm are fine. My legs, feet and belly were extremely swollen.

Next day... This is weird. When I use the Kardia app on my tablet I get a normal sinus rhythm. When I use the app on my phone, I still get "wide QRS".

Hugging, thanks for the informative and reassuring response. I still intend to notify my cardiologist but I’m not as worried as I had been.by Nepertutto - AFIBBERS FORUM

Thanks, George. My Kardia is newer and uses bluetooth but I’m not ruling out an artifact. I’ll try an EKG later. If I’m still getting a wide QRS tomorrow then I’ll send the result to my cardiologist.by Nepertutto - AFIBBERS FORUM
Sinus Rhythm with Wide QRS - 1 year ago
Hello everyone. I had a cardioversion (my second) two days ago which put me back into normal rhythm. The doctor told me that there's an ablation in my future, which is fine with me. I'm a 73 year old man. I performed a Kardia moble EKG yesterday and was overjoyed to see a sinus rhythm for the first time since the new year. But today my Kardia EKG says that I'm in sinus rhythmby Nepertutto - AFIBBERS FORUM
