AFib unfortunately is not curable. But it's symptoms are treatable. Just getting the diagnosis is scary enough. But then having to navigate your way through the good doctors and good surgeons and good practices until you finally have a good outcome can be exhausting. And there's one thing you have to be careful with and you have a heart disease and that's making more stress or exhaustion for yourself. My motto is smooth, smooth smooth.

Thank you so much , Ive been thinking about this procedure

You're so right @A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member I know that heart disease isn't curable but treatable this is what a doctor told me years ago but I never thought about the progression of the disease and the many stages it goes through I've lived with my diagnoses for 20 years and learning more about this disease is shocking and scary I've been diagnosed with AFIB and need this procedure which is scheduled for November so I'm reading and learning that this treatment may or may not help but it's encouraged to try for a better quality of life I've was diagnosed about 3 years ago with it and I haven't been able to work but I'm grateful for my life and try living it to the fullest

Very informative. Thank you for sharing.

My husband has had three ablations and when he had his quadruple bypass surgery in 2019, the surgeon said he also did another ablation. Of course, they say they think this will correct the problem. My husband had a pacemaker implanted which helped, but he still has Afib.
