Looks like I am anemic. Will that delay having an ablation or have anything to do with it?

Probably not unless it's severe.

For some cancer treatments, yes, and surely for some surgeries, but I'm not aware that it is an impediment to catheter ablation. There's very little bleeding involved.

I was anemic from a FI bleed and Dr N cancelled it and gave me a watchman instead so I could get scoped.

Regarding your question it being anemic could postpone an ablation- I think it’s a patient to patient decision. I was told they use blood thinners during the ablation and it was a factored in the decision to cancel it.

The following is his NP reply when I asked her the same question if my ablation would be canceled?:

No we will get labs the morning of the procedure. Hgn of 10 isn’t a contraindication of doing the procedure except you should find out why, and that’s why I suggested a scope. Upper and lower series. If there is active bleeding that would postpone
