Three years post treatment
I attended hospital last week for my final round of testing related to my clinical trial; CEASE-AF, three years and two months after the completion of treatment. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02695277 The trial involved a mini-maze followed by a catheter ablation, this was being compared

Keeping my Afib controlled without any meds after
cardiac
ablation
4 years ago but after second knee surgery months later I was admitted to Hospital for Bilateral Embolism and now on Eliquis blood thinner, hopefully not for the rest of my life.

What are the typical costs to a patient for a catheter ablation?
I live in the US, had an ablation in July and am coming up on the 6 month follow up, and have no signs of any issues at all. So far, a success. However, I was just reviewing my health care costs for the year, and I was shocked by the final charges for the mapping and ablation procedures. I have been

It seems to me that most people here have had one or multiple Ablations of one type or another.
I have had PAF and Flutters now for over one year. I'm 71 years old and my Cardiologists have never recommended a CardioVersion or Ablation of any type here in the Toronto Canada region. The last time I met with my main Cardiologist he told me CardioVersion is next to useless and Ablations are not far

Why do people have multiple ablations?
I've read that ten years ago a
cardiac
ablation
took 9-10 hours and they were very jubilant when they got it down to six. I think mine took an hour.

Flecadine and weight gain
Does this medication cause weight gain? I have read on Google does but I wanted to hear it from you. I had a catheter ablation in July and started taking flecadine with metapropolol right after. I know I slowed down my regular exercise while I was healing but I didn’t eat that much out of my normal diet

Quinine and Rivaroxaban
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. However, I have just heard that I should not be having tonic

Post ablation palpitations?
I just had a
cardiac
ablation
yesterday for SVT. They said I had 2 nodes and pathways and that they found the circuit and ablated it and considered it successful. Since getting home I’m getting almost constant flutters and palpitations.

Ablation of the nerve endings of the heart ,(ganglionated plexi)
Has anyone taken part in a research project or have any experience of standard catheter ablation for AF versus ablation of the nerve endings (ganglionated plexi)? Or have any thoughts about this? My 4th catheter ablation was last Friday so 6 days ago now at Hammersmith hospital. I took part in a blinded

Weaning off fkecainide
I was told by the
cardiac
surgeon in a 2 minute review after the
ablation
, to stop the flecainide and bisoprolol after 12 weeks. I could wean off for a few days if I wanted. Although I’m feeling great I’ve been dreading this time when I will stop my meds.

First AF Ablation this week
Greetings, Long-time lurker, first time poster here. Although I'm in the U.S. I've found this forum to be very helpful. Just for background, I'm 46 y.o. male in good health with no chronic conditions besides paroxysmal AF and atrial flutter. Cardiologist and EP feel that AF/flutter likely precipitated

I have permanent AF without obvous symptoms - should I take up an offer to have catheter ablation?
My first post here. As my profile says, I have had permanent AF for a long time but it is without obvious symptoms. I dont seem to have the kind of problems that many of those with AF suffer from - I have no trouble climbing stairs or with other activities of normal living. I have been running most

Slight Irregular heartbeat
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.
