Pulse Field Ablation with Dr Reddy My cousin had a PFA with Dr Reddy on Tuesday as well as Johnny who just posted. They were treated on same day in New York! Interesting. She went in early and had about a 4 hour procedure because he ablated one side with Pulse Field for Afib and the other side for flutter with Radio Frequency using 2 veins in the groin area. Excuse my layman terms but I don’t know the vernacular the way some here do.She was admitted from the recovery area because one of her incisions was compromised, but she was discharged the following afternoon. She had nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr Reddy and his staff and she is a highly trained cardiac nurse so she has spent her life in hospitals, surgery, and critical care heart patients. Her heart has been in NSR so far which is the good news but she is very tired and has been sleeping. She will still be on Flecanide 300mg (?) a day for the next month. I think the length of the surgery and anesthesia knocked her out, but she needed it badly. If there is any other news I will update this forum. https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,190917,190917#msg-190917 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 16:54:50 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,190917,190945#msg-190945 Re: Pulse Field Ablation with Dr Reddy https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,190917,190945#msg-190945
Is it quite common for an antiarrhythmic to be prescribed for a while after an ablation as prophylaxis?]]> gloaming AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 10 Jun 2023 16:08:28 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,190917,190937#msg-190937 Re: Pulse Field Ablation with Dr Reddy https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,190917,190937#msg-190937

If you weigh less than 154 lbs/70 kg, the maximum is 200 mg.

This is very important. I was prescribed 300 mg per day while weighing only 125 lbs and had a life-threatening reaction.

susan.d had that kind of issue as well with 300 mg at about 125 #'s. It very negatively changed the course of her afib journey.]]> GeorgeN AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 10 Jun 2023 01:07:53 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,190917,190934#msg-190934 Re: Pulse Field Ablation with Dr Reddy https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,190917,190934#msg-190934

I must say, though, and this is from someone who has never used Flecainide for any reason, that the dosage seems high to me.

300 mg per day is the maximum dose* but it's actually not unusual for people to be on that dose. I have.

"She was admitted from the recovery area because one of her incisions was compromised" - can you explain what does compromised mean?]]> Yuxi AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 09 Jun 2023 17:33:16 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,190917,190919#msg-190919 Re: Pulse Field Ablation with Dr Reddy https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,190917,190919#msg-190919
