It is included in the booklet on ablation available as download from AF Association. I know it was included in the last re-write I proof read a few years ago but have heard little of it since.
Are you asking because of this article in today's Daily Mail?dailymail.co.uk/health/arti...
Ooh the EP mentioned is based at my NHS trust hospital, too!
The article says that the patient mentioned is still on her meds almost a year after the surgery - would this be normal practice?
I imagine that would depend on each individual patient and also on the consultant and their usual practices. I would still be kept on anticoagulants - the only medication I am on for AF whether I had a successful cardioversion or ablation. I have had 3 successful cardioversions - still in NSR from the last one last February and had 3 cancelled ablations due to covid - though one was cancelled because I couldn't get to the hospital on the date given as only given 4 days notice.
