Blanking period

[higgy52]

How long is the blanking period after Ablation. had 2 cardiovertions never worked for long, Had Ablation 6 months ago worked for a month then gone in to Tacacardia with some Eptopics and bit of A F, feel better after Ablation but desperate to get off Amiodarone as been on it 18 months, But asked my my E P with i can come off the Amiodarone and he said no your still in the blanking period. got thyroid trouble but E P knows that. not sure what to do.

I was always told three to six months. Tachycardia and ectopics are quite normal post ablation but NOT AF.

See if you can get your med changed. Depending on how bad you are with afib maybe the ablation helped but I would say at this point it was not a complete success.

I looked back at what my EP said seven months after my ablation and he was hoping for further improvement.
