AV node ablation

[Adalaide2020]

Has anyone had an AV node ablation? I have had 3 ablations. Af for 25 years off and on but since reaching 60 I have 2 episodes a week on average, lasting 24hrs plus. I am 65 now and af getting worse. I dont drink caffeine, alcohol, I have a very healthy diet of fish, veg , low carb. Do yoga. It's getting me down now as I find I am limited on what I can do exercise wise. Some days I cant walk my dog

My cardiologist says an AV node ablation might be the way forward. I dont tolerate the usual drugs well but am on Apixaban with no problems. Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thank you and keep well.
