I used to work in the Cath Lab as a Cardiology Tech and I used to do cardioversions on a daily basis. I'm gonna agree with bad jane and say that they probably converted her to sinus. The thing with cronic a-fib is that people , you me, or anyone can be going in and out of a-fib and never know if we have that disease. It's quite possible that they had to cardiovert her again and this time it might not have worked so well. Ask them about a drug called Cardizem. It is a medication that can put a heart back in to Sinus, however it's not for everyone, and doesent always work on everyone.
As far as the differences, your soo right.. mistakes happen, if they contradict themselves, then definetly ask them to check the chart and clarify.
Usually the doctors you see are all apart the the same medical group. In other words, your seeing his colleage, not just some other cardiologist. From my experience, they conference with eachother in the daytime to make sure they are on the same page. If you are unhappy, don't be afraid to switch to another group (different set of doctors)
good luck
