Cardiology Department telephoned me today and said they had had a cancellation and would I like to go in next Wednesday at 9a.m. for AV node ablation. As long as blood test is ok, which is on Monday, it is all systems go. As I have said before, my EP is brilliant and it is because of this forum giving me so much information, that this is happening.
Thanking you all.
Angel Blessings.

Hi Dee, my EP Dr Slade is doing it in Treliske Hospital in Truro. I know it sounds silly but I am quite looking forward to the procedure after having read about other's experiences so I know I have nothing to worry about. I will also be able to watch it which I find very interesting. I will let you know how it goes.
That is fantastic. I guess we will all be waiting to hear how you go on as although it is the same procedure there are not so many people who have had the node tabulated. I would think it will be a shorter time. Hope you do get to watch . The screen was just out of my sight and I was too drowsy to care for most of the time.
I am good thanks but as everyone warned I am much more tired than expected.I had runs of ectopic all afternoon which would normally have triggered the A.F. but didn't so I'm hoping that is a good sign. Anyway thanks to advice on here I'm prepared for some strange happenings for the next few months.
I was very happy with my treatment in the end as you know I had been a bit anxious at one point. I am pleased to get this" under my belt" I must admit.
Thank you so much for all your good wishes and support. At least I should be fit and well to look after my husband Mike who is having a knee replacement on the 27th February! I am assuming I will be well enough to cart in all the logs for the wood burner!! 😊
I wish you well. In January of last year I had an av node ablation and it made all the difference in the world prior to the ablation my quality of life was miserable.
Yes MickN, it is different. Av node ablation is usually referred to as "pace and ablate" but as I already have a pacemaker then all I will have is the ablation which only take up to an hour in all and home the same day. The PV ablation is a longer procedure but Bob can explain the details of of these procedures better than I (can't you Bob?).
Best of luck with yours on the 17th, we can compare notes afterwards.
