Amiodarone is reasonably effective if dosed appropriately (more on the dose below ). If amiodarone fails to work immediately, continue the infusion. Some patients may have delayed cardioversion (e.g, within the first 24 hours after starting the amiodarone infusion). ibutilide

Consider amiodarone therapy starting 4 weeks before and continuing for up to 12 months after electrical cardioversion to maintain sinus rhythm, and discuss the benefits and risks of amiodarone with the person.
In December I had a second cardioversion for afib after being on amiodarone 400 for a month. I was in sinus rhythm for only 12 days (my first cardioversion, in Sept, without amiodarone, lasted only 3). I then took amiodarone for a month after the second cardioversion, 200 mg, but it didn t help and I wanted off, happened today.
Stable patients can be treated with intravenous amiodarone, lidocaine, or procainamide and with synchronized cardioversion if necessary after
