Apixaban

Hi there!

Had an ablation 3 years ago with excellent results! Occasionally I do get palpitations but nothing more.

My GP suggested I came off Apixaban but I remember at the time of my ablation th Consultant said I probably should stay on it just in case the AF sneaked back !!!

Not sure what to think.

Any comments gratefully received.

I am no expert linc2u, but I would think it would depend on your CHADS score, I would talk it through with your consultant, it is very encouraging to hear your ablation has been successful, I am going through a wobbly patch at the mo with Afib and am seriously thinking of ablation, and will ask my EP about same when I see him in July, best wishes to you and take care.....

as you have had AF in the past, the risk is the same if you are in NSR or not.

Check out your chads2vasc score as suggested by Jo-hannah and take it from there

my understanding is, if you score 0, no need for AC's, score 1, it should be considered, score 2 or more, don't mess about, take the pills

The videos from Dr Gupta explain all pretty well youtube.com/watch?v=CwX7xs_...
