Hi, I just found out I can not have an ablation of any type because my heart is too remodelled. The only thing left for me to do now is amiodorone- I do not think I am going entertain taking that drug. Sooo I am going for a second opinion in May. I am so exhausted and breathless-it is all so depressing. My point is - if you have the option of an ablation consider it a blessing. I was so excited and nervous when I was told I was going to have an AV node abate- but now told no. Good luck to all of us. I have enlarged cardiomyopathy hence the permanent A-fib and damage- atrium stretched re 60... Thanks for letting me share xo
