cardoversion shock

[bykrldy]

my husband went into hosp. for the heart shock and they would not do it as they said his wayfram level was below 2.0 and the shock could cause a stroke?  He had his blood level done day before and it was 2.0 and has been at that level for past 2 mos. or more.  This has happen 2 different visits at the hosp. (saying his level was 1.8 )and he can't seem to get the procedure done.  What is going on?  The lab he goes to every week shows steady levels at 2.0.  I need some answers, PLEASE.  D

Thanks for info my husband will prob. increase his wayfram so he can get the procedure done as I know he needs to be at 2.0 on up.  Will know more when his reg. Dr. gets back from vac.

Does your husband have to stay at exactly 2.0?  What if his level was a little higher (medication adjustment) prior to his cardioversion?  Would it be OK if his level was, let's say, 2.4?  

My dad takes warfarin for afib and he is supposed to be between 2.0 and 3.0.  A recent drop to 1.8 triggered a medication adjustment.
