Re: How much vitamin K is too much? - 6 years ago
Quotesafib Dr. Sovari seems to have a fairly impressive record in cardiac arrhythmia research, including peer-reviewed publications and some awards. His training and fellowships and affiliations seem quite good, as far as the general reputation of the institutions go. That doesn't put him in the league of Dr. Natale of course. He seems to have generally broader interests, but a more specialiby RussellG - AFIBBERS FORUM

The plan is for an ablation just for the flutter, followed by 3-4 weeks of anti-coagulant therapy. I suppose treating the A fib would be considered afterward. How do I find out how many procedures he's done? He is Dr. Ali Sovari out of Oxnard, California.by RussellG - AFIBBERS FORUM

Yes, Carey, he wants to do an ablation for the flutter. I am also taking digoxin .125 but plan on tapering off. He mentioned that I would be placed on a blood thinner after the procedure.by RussellG - AFIBBERS FORUM

My recent holter monitor showed some Afib and an episode of atrial flutter. I have had PACs for several years and I know what they feel like. During the time I wore my monitor, I felt a kind of fluttering feeling in my heart, but nothing like the full-blown attack I had just a few days ago, which was the first time I had ever experienced anything like that.
