Seems to be going well at last !

[localad]

I was just 'looking back'..........4 years since I noticed some paroxymal AF.

3 and a half years since it went persistent constantly (90-130 bpm) and I finally got it diagnosed.

3 years since a failed cardioversion.

2 years since an abandoned sedated PV cryo ablation, as I went into asystole (flat lined) twice, (apparently not easy to manage if the patient is just sedated !)

1 and a half years since a RF PV ablation under GA which worked for a month until I dropped into constant flutter.

Now 1 year since a sedated flutter ablation.........and............perfect sinus rhythm since then .

Now off the variety of bisoprolol, sotalol and amiodarone that they tried me on over the 4 years.

I got a 'Kardia' 'single lead' monitor back in 2019........it's been very useful and saved many trips to hospital for ecg monitoring. (UK NHS)

Just left with the edoxaban, now as a 'precaution', due my age; 70.

Back at work too !

Thanks for sharing. As someone about to go for 2nd RF ablation it's good to read that 'have another go' is worth the effort.

I'm really pleased the team were able to revive me during that 1st aborted ablation ! It apparently took a little while to get my blood pressure back.
