Correction to Bambi!
Bambi I replied to your last post but there are 162 relies hence repeat here The mini maze isolates the pulmonary veins from the outside and
catheter
ablation
does it from the inside. Some maze procedures do both. It’s not news!

Flecainide stopped working
I have been on Flecainide for years & my AF well controlled. Now it has started to cause other arrhythmias so I have to stop it This happened a few years ago & as soon as it was stopped my AF occurred regularly & made me feel very unwell I was able then to restart it but this time it’s not possible

My First Pacemaker Followup
Today was my first real follow up with my EP since the fitting of my pacemaker and AV node ablation done on February 13 and 27th. I have not been feeling 100% although much much better than before all of this. I guess I expected more not realizing other things are in play with me and it’s not just

AV Node Ablation
Hello everyone this is my first time writing on this site. I'm an 82 year old lady with heart failure and I have been impressed by how helpful and supportive everyone is so decided to ask your advice. I had a pacemaker (CRT-P) fitted in November following years with AF and expected to start feeling a

Cross Roads
Once again I seem to be at a cross roads on my AF journey. I have been on Sotalol for some while but recently I have been having fairly frequent episodes of AF which last for quite a while, sometimes days. Because of this I had a second ablation at the end of November but unfortunately, if anything

Ablation damage
Hi, Would anyone know, if there is a possibility of permanent heart muscle damage during a cardiac ablation for someone who has suffered from Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome with Af that could cause something more serious in the future and what tests would be needed to identify this problem if damage

Ectopic beats almost 25% with much esophagus burn and some nausea.
Hi All, I had a
catheter
Rf and balloon PVI
ablation
, both atria, in 2022 and have been pretty much afib free ever since. That said, I have been having PACs immediately after the ablation sometimes going up to 10% for a day or two.

AV node ablation on Friday...getting a touch nervous!!
Having had 3 years of cancelling just about everything planned. Being unable to walk and talk , get up the stairs ....etc. plus innumerable trips to Leeds LGI and York. 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

cardiac ablation
my cardiologist had recommended an ablation a year ago but I choose to wait. I’ve had very few episodes on Flecinide and Eliquis. Now he’s saying my heart rate is getting too low and we need to revisit having the ablation. I’m looking for feedback from those who have had the procedure.

Post Ablation Dyspnea (Shortness of Breath) and Skipping Beats
Radiofrequency
catheter
ablation
(RFCA) for right atrium (for flutter) and Cryo PVI ablation for the left atrium. I am on anticoagulant and bisoprolol (decreases the beat). Still in the blanking period with some post ablation issues. Will follow up in 2 months.

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. The procedure

Ventricular tachycardia and ablation for PVCs
Hi I’m due to see my EP in June to discuss
catheter
ablation
for ventricular tachycardia and PVCs. Has anyone had a VT ablation or An ablation just for PVCs ?

The entire world is in an anxiety meltdown particularly in America! Hearts don't go out of rhythm for no reason
Having had 10 cardioversions and two ablations that left me a shell of my former self and medically traumatised me and damaged my heart, I implore you all to look deeper within yourself and attend to any old trauma from childhood any time in your life that has contributed to your carrying fear worry

Cryoablation and recovery so far - my experience
Later the next day I spoke with two women who also had ablation the same day as I and they told me that they were awake and basically felt the procedure, not the
catheter
, just the
ablation
.

Post Catheter Ablation
I'm 72, fit, considered generally healthy, although I had an ablation 7 days ago. It went 'smoothly' according to the electrophysiologist. This treatment came as a choice after 2 years of Paroxysmal AF episodes. My symptoms were very pronounced. The 'pill in the pocket' didn't really help me. However
