1 Citation This is a male House Finch. He stopped by and sang to me last week. The presence of this photo is solely for your enjoyment and has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of today's post. ** Today is my cardioversion. I report to Red Deer Regional Hospital at 8 a.m. where I will be knocked out and my heart will be shocked into proper rhythm. It worked once before and it will work again. The difference is this time it will take. In a few weeks I'll be off the Coumadin and back eating broccol, technorati.com

Taze me, bro! Taser stops atrial fibrillation! 1 Citation Tasers have been very controversial in light of recent Taser deaths from cardiac arrest. But some studies say that tasers don?t affect the heart. So much for that theory!

He was being checked out in the emergency room when they discovered he had an irregular heartbeat, atrial fibrillation. He became agitated and started ripping off the EKG leads. To subdue him, police, technorati.com

1 Citation Looking down into the blossoms I can get my heart zapped any time. My echocardiogram is set for June 3, and I thought I?d have to have it done before the dc cardioversion, but apparently I can get the cardioversion first if the timing works out. I got a call yesterday from Dr. Pimm?s office in Red Deer telling that once a bed opens for me in ICU I can get it done. Pimm is a doctor of Internal Medicine and friend and colleague of my cardiologist in Edmonton. I know this cardioversion will tak, technorati.com

1 Citation Young cardiology fellow meets electrophysiologist after an episode of new-onset atrial fibrillation that requires cardioversion in the EP lab:"Go ahead, hold the legs." "Are you nuts?" "No, I'm not nuts. You need to hold their legs so after the shock they don't bend their legs with all those catheters in them and hurt themselves." "But you're going to use 360 Joules!" "Yep, and you won't feel a thing." "No way." "Way." "How can you be so sure?" "Because those gloves you're wearing do not, technorati.com

1 Citation I have been in a drawing slump since my hospital trip. I still have yet to see a cardiologist and I am scared of every tiny pain and soreness I feel in and around my chest.

I am trying to get back on the horse by doodling crazy nonsense like the drawings above., technorati.com

1 Citation I have heart failure caused by severe left ventricular dysfunction. I also have atrial fibrillation.

What does anyone think?, technorati.com

1 Citation I was taking care of a patient the other night who was in for an atrial fibrillation ablation. In quick and simple terms, they go in, find where the ectopic fib beats are originating and then burn them out. As we were chatting the typical run-of-the-mill history questions came up. ?Did they ever cardiovert you? Or have you been managing with drugs?? I asked. ?Nope, whenever I would come in to have it (a cardioversion) done, I?d be in sinus by when they hooked me up to the monitor.? he replie, technorati.com
