My Day for Catheter Ablation

13 Replies

Well, tomorrow is my day with catheter ablation.  It was scheduled for two weeks ago, but my doc put it off until tomorrow.  I am glad he didn't put it off any longer than he did because my shortness of breath is getting worse.  I just hope it works as well for me as it did for some of you.  I have learned a lot about AFIB.  I thought it was just an irregular heart beat.  I had no idea it could take so many forms.  Mine is electrical and the atrial portion of the heart doesn't beat at all - it just spasmodically flutters.  I guess the ablation removes the malfunctioning nerve tissue.

Good luck. The ablation does not actually remove any tissue just quarterises it.

Stay calm. Go with the flow and I promise that there are worse procedures, especially at the dentist's. The worst part of my ablation was getting to the hospital for 7am.

Best wishes.

Hope it all goes well.  Don't be disappointed if you get some AF or flutter back in the first 2-3 weeks – it's quite common and doesn't necessarily mean the ablation hasn't been successful, it may just be that the heart takes this time to settle down after the procedure.
