When is AV Node ablation the answer?
I have permanent AF. An attempt at ablation failed because my right atrium is enlarged and it was not possible to get a catheter through the OS from the right atrium and into the left. My EP initially suggested an AV node ablation but then, without telling me the reason decided not to, saying that it

I have had three afib ablations. All three helped for 6 - 12 months, then rhythm out again. They are looking to do a fourth. Medications don't work. Meeting with my electrophysiologist next week. Trying to make the decision between doing another catheter ablation or pace & ablate ?

History of Paroxysmal A.Fib.
Hi, I was diagnosed with A.fib in 2002. Since then I have had 3 failed ablations. I had a pacemaker in 2011. In 2016 I was due to have a hip replacement. There was a big fuss about doing it in case I went into Afib and unfortunately I gave in to having an A.V node ablation. No more pain from hip.

General anaesthetic
Hi All! After some advice. Due to undergo an endometrial ablation under general anaesthetic. (Hopefully to help address chronic iron deficiency anaemia) Aside from having my b12 jab afterwards as opposed to before....anything else I should be aware of in relation to general anaesthetic and hypothyroidism

AV node ablation - is sport still possible?
I am in the "shall I shan't I have the Ablate and Pace" mode. I need to be sure I can continue to ride my bicycle ( I live in a very hilly area and before this AF occurred I would average 30 miles a day) and also kayak. I was reading some comments which say that the pacemaker does respond to the demands

An update on my AF
Hi, all. As an update to my previous post re my cardiologist. He has referred me to Dr Glyn Thomas, an electrophysiologist at the Bristol Heart Institute, for an Av node ablation. That was in June. I haven't yet heard from him. My cardiologist said that his son has just had an ablation after a four

Heart failure
Last year I had a two lead pacemaker inserted, due to brachycardia and heart block, On hosp monitor,showed up 30 / 40 HB I also suffered AF for many years, seemed to appear not long after a HA in 2004 The AF was controlled by Amioderone, but destroyed my thyroid and affected my eye sight, was eventually

Pacemakers and Golf
I had a pacemaker fitted about 18 months ago and an AV Node Ablation 6 weeks ago. Is there any reason why I cannot get back on the golf course. I am worried that the action of swinging the club could adversely affect the pacemaker wires. Is there any golfers in the forum who can comment on this?

Ablation follow up/complications
I was due to have a
cardiac
Ablation
last Friday (11th May). During the procedure they carried out the electrophysiology study but then decided they could not do the full Ablation because it was too risky. Has this happened to anyone else?

Referral to ablation.
The AF nurse said I'd be referred for
cardiac
mri and referral for
ablation
about a month ago. I've not heard anything since. I'm 35 and liverpool based. Thanks So.

I'm new here
Last 5th July 2018 I had a Pacemaker implanted and next 10th August 2018 I am to have the second procedure, AV Node Ablation. In 2000 I had a Mechanical Mitral Valve installed and since then have had problems with AFib. There were 6 successful Cardio Versions, successful for awhile anyway. My cardiologist

In and out of Afib.
I had a
cardiac
ablation
on April 30th. After procedure, I was in normal sinus rhythm for 4 days. The last two days, I'm experiencing a couple afib episodes, and back to sinus today. I hope it's normal.

Sharp back pain
Hi All: I have my catheter ablation surgery May 1st. June 1st I tried to mildly exercise but experienced sharp back pain and a heavy chest. Okay. Just a month..maybe too soon. I tried again on July 1st and had the same thing. It was an even milder workout than before. Once again, really sharp back pain

8 years in, post ablation
Hi All, I'm an afib patient since 2010, and have thus far had 2 cardioversions and a
cardiac
catheter
ablation
, followed by 2 more cardioversions. The ablation was in January and the cardioversions in Feb and again early April.

Negligible Afib (if any at all) after doing these 2 things...
A couple of years ago I had a catheter ablation which was 70% successful in eliminating my Afib, which was great but slightly disappointing too. After 6 months my cardiologist said it was unlikely that it would improve further. Then I heard about Magnesium supplements and how good they were for the

How long does cardiac ablation typically last for re-entrant tachycardia?
I thought I was free of it( re-entrant tachycardia) after the last ablation however my other Cardiologist ( not the E.P. cardiologist) said it usually lasts for about a year. I hope I heard that wrong!
