Experiences with

AV (atrioventricular) node ablation

Looking for views on AV node ablation and pacemaker which has been suggested as I have been on waiting list for an ordinary ablation for so long that they think it may not work.

Or is that what they call a AV node ablation ?

Well yesterday at 8am I was in Edinburgh hospital first on the list , my nerves were in tatters , first they made sure my pacemaker was settled which was fitted 6 weeks ago , all well , I was in full AF and my HR was all over the place , when the dr came to speak to me he said not to worry , that it

Have most people had good results with AV node ablation and pacemaker?

After av node ablation and pacemaker, I still have a slightly irregular heart beat at times. Does that mean my ventricles are still working a little on their own? It may be PVC's.

I am pacemaker dependant having had an av node ablation. Having given up all alcohol, which I used to really enjoy I have very infrequent episodes of AF. I have replaced my Gin and Tonic with a non alcoholic spirit and sugar free tonic.

I had an av node ablation and pacemaker two months ago and feel really good. I was not informed of the possibility of developing AF at the time or about the biventricular pacemaker which I did not get. What determines why some people get it and some do not.

Just a little update , since getting my pacemaker in sept 2020 and AV node ablation 4 weeks later , I am loving life right at this moment , as you can see I’m getting out there a bit more each day , I don’t care what weather is I’m out .

Well thought I would pop on and let you all know how I am doing after having the pacemaker fitted in September and AV node ablation 4 wks later .

Have a pacemaker fitted having a AV node ablation today to stop irregular heart beat and hopefully help shortage of breath any tips for exercise afterwards.

After several cardioversions 2 ablations and high doses of medication for rate control he has suggested 3 alternatives. 1) another ablation 2) a biventricular pacemaker with av node ablation. 3) a pacemaker with a cardioversion.

I have a pacemaker with av node ablation, prosthetic mitral valve and continuing, although not felt, af. Medication is warfarin alone. Christmas has been spent in South Africa with my family, on Boxing Day, 5 of us, including myself tested positive for Covid.

Great having an av node ablation with permanent pacing and then left to rot.

I was wondering if anyone knows that once I get the AV node ablation it might sort this out ..I have phone the dr this morning so will get a telephone consultation from him , just the local dr ...on the up side my heart rate has not gone up into the higher numbers since got my pm in ...thanks all ..

I’m looking at AVNode ablation option if cardioversion does not work which is scheduled for 2 weeks with loading on tykosyn in hospital. Could those of you who have had the node ablation or have information about it please share? I have been told I cannot continue being in tachycardia days after day

I would like to hear from those who have had AV/NODE Ablation procedure? Success, recovery time, comments.

He has put me on waiting list( 4 weeks wait) for a CRT device and then 4 weeks later a AV node ablation. Although I went through all the pros and cons for hours and agonised over the decision ( see previous posts) I felt at peace with this decision for pace/ablate over an ablation.

Anyway, since then I've been taking the Digoxin which has slowed my heart rate and I have now received a letter from my long-standing EP suggesting the next likely course of treatment is that of AV Node Ablation and the upgrading of my Pacemaker to a CRT-P Device.

Hi I'm another newbie. I had a heart attack 20 years ago at the age of 55. It left me with atrial fibrillation and over the years I have been treated with medication, 2 pulmonary vein isolation ablations and 7 cardioversions. I don't seem to have many options left to me know and I have recently been
