8 years since ablation

8 years coming up since my Natale ablation. No meds except adult aspirin daily, went from 1 year of continuous 24/7 AFib to NSR for 8 years now.

Here is my 6 months update.

So, I will be 74 in November.

I do 150 pushups (3 x 50) pushups, bench presses, planks, curls, rows, do the TRX, am doing a lot of balance exercises on the BOSU ball, balance board, etc., and a lot of stretching. About 180 minutes of exercise daily. I do regular (4-5 times per week) 20-40 mile bicycle rides this summer followed by a 40 minute swim, and lots of walking.

I am still active in the gospel singing group I started 8 years ago,

www.xyzingers.info

and my advocacy activities continue. [www.pad-co.info]

I m writing this to provide hope to some of you, and to show that a good life can still go on in your 70's

Best of luck to all of you.

Thank you for this report of successful ablation! We need more of them on this site.

You are welcome. BTW, I had my ablation with Natale in Marin and Dr's Hao and Hsu assisted.

Let us hope the magic has been passed to the disciple.

Nice to hear 8 years of NSR with one of the Best!
I just had my Natale ablation May 28 after meeting him for the first time that day at 12:30pm.
Then we just decided to just do it then. Never hesitated for a second when he asked me do you want to go now!
The man is a humble genius and a Mastetro with the catheter!!!
Feeling great after a bit of a rough start the first month!
