Exercise, age and A-Fib
Afternoon all, Just found this forum as I'm currently at home recovering from a catheter ablation. I'm 51 and would class myself as pretty fit, I've done various sports all my life, field hockey, and various other sports in gym classes etc. About 5 years ago I started doing more serious cycling and longer

Three years from diagnosis
I am writing this update as I am aware that a majority of people whose ablations are "successful" tend to leave the forum. I thought I would add a bit of balance. It is now exactly three years since I realised that my breathlessness and general lack of fitness was not due to aging, but due to a medical

VT diagnosis and cardiac ablation. Would you do it?
My cardiologist wants to do the electric mapping and possible
cardiac
ablation
but I’m unsure, and when I pressed him, so is he.

My AF journey takes a turn for the worse! 2
Well it's a week now post CRT-D implantation and I do feel a little better for it, but early days yet. No problems during the day as regards pain, night time was a problem and I had to take painkillers before I could sleep. Turns out it was the large plaster left over the wound that was causing some

Not Sure What To Think
Just had my annual check-up with my EP. I had a pacemaker fitted in Dec,. 2016. Everything went OK for 9 months and then A/F returned. I then had an AV Node ablation in June 2018 and (touch wood), everything seems alright. One of the drugs I am on is Bisoprolol 10mg and have been for the last 7 yrs.

Av node ablation
Hi, Havent posted for a while but Im now really looking for answers to my question. I had pacemaker fitted mid September as my af had got out of control and Im intolerant of beta blockers. I felt I had run out of options but was very reluctant yet seemed no other choice. The pacemaker didnt make any

Best surgeon in the world for an ablation?
If you needed a catheter ablation for paroxysmal AF and cost or travel weren't a problem, what doctor would be the best choice?

Has anyone experience of catheter ablation at St George’s?
It’s been 13 years since my first ablation and I’m feeling really anxious again! I’m worried I’m not as young as I was then. I’m 50 now. I’m also out of my comfort zone as I’ve always had cardio treatment at Brompton, crazy but different unfamiliar hospital is adding to anxiety! Anyone had good experience

PBC Diagnosis
I know when you have a positive AMA, you are likely to develop PBC, but I feel like with the medication roller coaster I have had this year (
cardiac
ablation
for aflutter), many meds including antidepressants, I’m not convinced that the elevated ALP is due to PBC.

Advice
My husband has just had a catheter ablation, his first one, last Thursday. He’s having really bad headaches, is this expected? I will give the gp a ring on Monday if no better but just wondered if this is ‘normal’

Catheter ablation with emphysema
I am scheduled for ablation next month. I have read many post of successful procedures. My concern is that the burns that are mad in the heart get close to the pulmonary veins . Has anyone with emphysema had a good outcome even though they have lung conditions. Would love to hear feedback from anyone

Recovery after Catheter Ablation
I had an ablation treatment last Thursday 27th Dec, it went well, so I gather, but I understand that it was more complicated than anticipated. It took some time to complete the investigative part of the treatment and then five locations were identified and I then received 5 "burns". The whole treatment

Longstanding Paroxysmal af: What next for me?
Hi - A question or two and a bit of a moan - sorry! I have had Paroxysmal AF for 20 years. I had a pacemaker fitted in 2005 following a reaction after amiodorone which paces me at 60. Then 5 years AF clear then episodes started again. I've had 3 ablations in past 5 years and my EP says there's nothing

A/Fib and Exercise.
I am a new here, but not new to A/Fib or A/Flutter. After 4 decades of distance running I ended up with a heart attack and quadruple bypass at 65. (12 years ago) Back to running within 6 weeks but 5 years later A/Fib struck, followed a year later by A/Flutter. 2013 and a RF Catheter Ablation restored
