Hello all new here. I had 3 ablations with dr natale over the last 2 years for persistent afib. After the first ablation l developed a flutter and it returned again after the second one. He isolated my laa and In the third he did a touch up and Istalled a watchman. I've been in nsr except for a lot of ecpotics many in bigamy and tri bigamy patterns mainly when I'm active. Dr natale said he can't fix everything so lve learned to live with it. About a week ago when walking I felt a lot of flutter which I thought was afib. Next day l brought my kardia with me had the flutter again and caught it on the kardia. I think it's v tach and iam Freaking out. I sent it to trent in Austin and they told me to see my cardiologist. I see him next week. I guess I want to ask if anyone has had vtach after an ablation.
I am 83 years old and been reading this forum for 10 years during my afib journey. Thanks all and have a merry christmas.

You can always pay a fee and a Kardia specialist could diagnose your ekg (“speak to a cardiologist “ or “get a clinician review”) if you are freaking out. There is a button to push under more options. I think it’s $19 for peace of mind until you see your cardiologist. It may help to put closure and avoid getting an afib episode from fright and you can enjoy Christmas.

Thank you Susan I paid 25.00 for the review. I hope you have a merry Christmas and and a happy and healthy new year.

What was the response? I'm hoping (and betting) the reviewer said it wasn't v-tach.

He said it was afib. It don't look like anything I'd before. Hope he's right. Thanks again.

It would be virtually impossible for an MD to misidentify v-tach as afib (or anything else, really).

Thank you carey. I hope that's right if so that would my first bout of afib in almost a year. I would post the kardia strip if I knew how

The Kardia will give you a PDF of the recording. Take that and post it to any of the free file sharing services such as Google Drive, then post a link to it here. Or you can email it to me. Check your private messages for my email address.

Carey sent you an email. I have to study a little more to get it to post.
