Experiences with

AV (atrioventricular) node ablation

has anyone had av node ablation for afib and also has copd?

I meant to say my final ablation was a AV Node ablation after my previous 3 ablations.

I had av node ablation one month ago. Since then, I’ve been extremely tired and sob on exertion? has anyone else had the same? thanks for your time

I was disappointed with her attitude, she said that she didn't have a magic wand to wave and what did I expect at 82 (which I thought was very rude) She told me that I had 3 choices - do nothing - take Amiodarone (which can cause a lot of problems) or AV Node Ablation.

hi all I thought I would let you know I had my AV node ablation last Friday. If you have read My posts you will realise I was scared silly about it as it is so final. Dr Graham at LGI was amazing as were all the staff. They were so careful to make sure I was as calm as I could be.

I'm wondering about what others might be or have experienced with being fully on a pacemaker after AV Node Ablation.

I find myself A few days away from an AV node ablation, following a CRTP insertion at the beginning of January. In one way it can't come soon enough, as I am so symptomatic with this paroximal AF and Brachicardia . However I am getting nervous now, the AV node ablation being only a few days away.

But after AV node ablation last year and being pacemaker dependant now the surgeon said it would be tricky.Has anyone had similar, I would be grateful for any reasurring replies please Thank u x

heart also has sinus pauses and bradycardia I am very scared tearful about AV node ablation even though I think I will feel a bit better However I would like to know if damage still be done to the heart Thank you all

Following my most recent admission a few days ago my EP has told me that I have 3 options; another ablation, which neither he nor I are keen on, change to Amiodorone or have an AV node ablation (pace and ablate).

I'm assuming he will be advising me to go ahead with an AV node ablation to help control my afib, which l now get every other day lasting on average for 4/5 hours. Although there are lots of positive stories here regarding Pace and Ablate l am still worried about having this done.

Hello My condition has worsened I am in permanent AF have been for a few years, also have Heart failure due to this Consultant consultation a few weeks ago - now in Tachymyopathy I have been told it is best to have AV node ablation now although I have fought having this for years I do have a pacemaker

Why am I unable to obtain a heartbeat of more than 80 BPM.I become very tired and presumed my heartbeat would be about 140 BPM!

changing my care to my home state starting with pacemaker and then AV node ablation. Heart rate more high than low, but seeking relief. , so willing to try and “give in “ to PM idea. History! AF since 2014, (funky skipped beats 2008- on Metoprolol ). Cardio version, PIP Flecanide 2015-16-17.

node ablation I am a soon to be 80 year old female who was very active travelling a lot as our daughter lives in the US So would like some help from those of you who have taken this path- your experiences & how it’s affected your life At present am now taking Digoxin 0.250 Bisoprolol 10mg & Apixiban

Hi…recently last week had an AV node ablation following pacemaker fitted two months before..after the ablation I wasn’t too well …extremely breathless…so hospital decided I couldn’t go home very elderly at 86 years old.

node ablation is irreversible is the words I struggle with I guess as we age bits will fall off Watch this space

I am slightly reluctant with any changes to my medication as I suffered very badly from all the different AF medications resulting in a very successful pacemaker and AV node ablation. I now only take Rivaroxaban for my AF .

Has anyone experienced if the AV node ablation improves these symptoms?

It is almost a month since my AV node ablation and the swelling and shortness of breath have subsided. My pacemaker is currently set to rate response with a range of 80-130. I recently started riding my bike again taking it slow for now until I build my stamina back up.
