Permanent AF

Thank you all for your replies which I have read with great interest. I have decided to carry on as I am as I feel well, but keeping a close eye on my heart rate etc and if there are any changes will ask to see a cardiologist even if I have to pay privately. I had an ECG a couple of weeks ago and apart from showing AF all okay. Once again thank you all for your sound advice.

I hope you keep track of your left atrium by means of an echocardiogram. Once your AF has caused enlargement of your left atrium and right atrium, the chances of a successful ablation decreases. That's one very important reason that EP's suggest sooner than later for successful ablations. AF damages the heart.

Thank you for your reply. However I have no intention of having an ablation, I am nowhere near that stage thankfully.
