Vagal AF
I thought I would start a new thread since sometimes I miss info in older threads, and others will do the same, especially if they have not posted anything on the older thread. I saw the following in a 2007 study and found it helpful. If this information is true, it is hard to understand why an EP

Am I really an 'enigma'?
Hello everyone, I am a 45 y/o male with managed Hpyertension , but otherwise healthy. I was diagnosed with AF back in September 2014. I underwent cardioversion which last for 3 days.

Most vagal afibbers receive wrong medication
Bagrat commented on one of my posts I made a year ago and this reminded me of the following study which was done some time ago but may still be relevant. Many new people on the forum may not be aware of the concept presented. Most vagal afibbers receive wrong medication MAASTRICHT, THE NETHERLANDS

Advice for newbie please
I've just been diagnosed with paroxysmal AF and, with a very supportive GP, I'm starting on the road to find a treatment that suits me best. I've read a lot but would love some tips on questions I should really be asking. In hindsight I had probably had infrequent episodes of AF that just left me feeling

Post atrial flutter ablation & sotalol
After my ablation for A flutter 26th October 2015 I was taken off my 2.5 of bisoporal and put onto sotalol (80mg X 2). I noticed the difference straight away - not happy with heart beats / missed/ pauses / dips - a bit like the sensation ( ladies) you have in pregnancy before the real noticeable movements

Ventriculcar Tachy Ablation? Anyone have one?
Just curious. I had one doctor say he could not do it because my scar was located in the ventricular septum, however I am seeing a top top ablation specialist next week in hopes he may be able to help. I take Sotalol now and it makes me very tired and sluggish. I feel like I am 80 and I am only 40

Keyhole Maze Procedure Tomorrow
Tomorrow I will be one of the first patients in Australia to have a keyhole maze procedure. It seems that the success rate is something around 75-85%. Experienced my first episode of atrial fibrillation in 2000, as a fit and healthy 48 year old. Since 2000 I’ve been on a range of medications. Mainly

There can be a cure for AF!
I have always been told that there is no permanent cure for AF, and accepted that over the past twenty years. I saw Professor Schilling today, for my three month post ablation check, and he said, quite specifically, that he considered me to be cured, and did not expect to have to see me again. For
