Gentlemen, One of you brought up earlier about cardioversion and getting Coumadin before it. You said something about possibility throwing blood clot, if converted without blood thinning.

When I was "defibrillated" for v-flutter during my EP study, I had stopped my aspirin before going into the hospital. Do you think it was less dangerous to be defibed, that cardioverted?

Just wondering, cause if some time,I have to go to ER, and there's any chance that I'll get "paddled" again, i'll be sure to ask for immediate blood thinner...right?

Sarah
