I was diagnosed with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy in 2014 following admission to hospital with atrial fibrillation. Was referred to Papworth cardiology and put on Adiziem. 2 further admissions for AF and put on Amioderone was referred for ablation at Papworth which was done 2015 and had 5 clear years AF free and my HCOM was monitored yearly and was back on Adiziem. Following return AF or was then determined as atrial flutter had another ablation 2022 which was succeful for 4 months then return to atrial flutter. 3rd ablation 4/3/24 successful 4 months now return to atrial flutter with high bpm155. Awaiting follow up face to face in 6 months with Electrophysiologist to determine plan. Find these waits really difficult. I am 76 and find fast pulse exhausting but do a daily walk and keep working on my art projects. My question is whether I would be considered for a pacemaker, am aware mostly used for slow pulse rate but more sophisticated now and have read they are used with fast pulse. Have been told my Arrythmia’s are complex but my HOCM is stable.
