Mini Maze Discussion

A few weeks ago I posted a link to a live online discussion that Dr Ohtsuka and Dr Wolf held in Tokyo. I am almost five months post-procedure and am in NSR, and even managed 11 chin ups (a record) a few days ago.

This is a FB link to the recording of the session:

Wishing all AFib sufferers and our families good health and peace in our lives. Saul

That's great Saul! I can barely manage 11 push ups now! Did they put you on any afib drugs like anti-arrhythmic or beta blockers post mini maze and are you still on them?

Hi Jim. Thank you and don't give up.

Post-Op, I was three months on just 50mg Flecainide once a day (evening) and nothing else. Stopped the Flecainide end of February and no medications now.

Thanks Saulger. The Dropbox link gave me 30mins of it. Fascinating. Thank you!

How are you doing?

I wonder why? It's 1:44:35 (one hour and forty four minutes). You can also download it and watch on your computer.

I am doing well, in NSR each and all day and my breathlessness is also much better. We must give these things time to fully recover.

I found it fascinating that so many people suffer with Afib irrespective of gender or nationality.

Thanks for the link. And happily the whole video downloaded to my phone successfully as well, which I needed as I don't have a PC or Facebook.
