Hello Alice. History you have given is quite incomplete. Cardioversion is not required as a routine therapy until unless there are some rhythm disturbance. With this information I can only make an assumption that you have a rhythm abnormality with a clot in any of the chamber of the heart which needs to be dissolved before your rhythm disturbance is addressed. Kindly provide me the following for more information.1-your Electrocardiogram interpretation 2-your Echocardiography report.
