Wendi and Sam, I am so glad your ablations were a success. I am looking forward to my ablation for Aflutter on the 17th. I'm eager to slow this down. I am hoping they can get it all this time. It is my 3rd ablation for Aflutter. This time is pulse field. Fingers crossed.
@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member Was very informative, glad you shared it with us.
@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member when it comes to medical treatment, I listen to what the doctor I am seeing says. I always want to know all my options prior to agreeing to a course of action.
It looks like good results can be obtained through ablation. In saying that, I am not sure it things got to where I would need that, if I I would be a candidate for it, with the amount of damage I already have to the heart, I do not know how much more of it I can afford to lose, so would have to rely heavily on my cardiologist.
Praying for a speedy recovery
