As an Adrenergic fibber in a Vagal fib world, I've been wondering, are the success rates people have experienced for the vagals or Adrenergic (or mixed) fibs?

Nancy,

Our 2008 ablation/maze survey [www.afibbers.org] found no statistically significant difference in success rates between adrenergic, vagal, and mixed (random) afibbers. These findings were confirmed in a later study in Australia [www.afibbers.com]
