Radio frequency ablation for atrial fibrillation.

Hi,

Back in September 2017 I had a major heart attack resulting in 12 shocks and 10 CPRS, followed by one stent in the main artery.

Since then, I’ve had 3 episodes of atrial fibrillation and were brought under control by drugs.

I am told I need catheter ablation but can’t afford a private operation.

My question is, how long is the wait for an NHS procedure ?

Any advice would be most welcome and thank you in advance
