DC cardio version lasted 3 weeks (late December) then slow route to review, need ablation but need to see EP, long wait.. then ablation 'simple ablation unlikely to be effective because of atrial enlargement.. 2 stage procedure should work.. long wait for assessment by cardiothoracic surgeons re first stage.. accepted for procedure, pre op assessment tomorrow, CT scan/angiogram Wednesday then admission for chest opening on Wednesday!

My cheap fit bit gives a 'single lead' egg trace via android phone, no assessment of trace but I've been reading ECGs for 40 years and can see its af easily.
