Jpeters, he pretty much said that's part of my make-up now. Kind of ignored it. Trust me I am very sensitive to them.
I don't think EP's quite know what to do about them, and perhaps don't want to acknowledge ablation had anything to do with the problem.

Natale apparently knew what to do about mine. Completely eliminated.

Carey I'm so glad you are free of any burden ectopics, afib, etc. you are very very lucky and a very rare case. Not my first rodeo and for most of us it's not so cut n dry.

His next option was to send me for Convergent Ablation where they were getting much better results then he was.

Natale and other EPs of his stature get much better results than he does and does it without cutting you open. Maze isn't trivial surgery. It requires being put on bypass, and although it tends to be very effective, atrial flutter is a common side effect. I considered it but rejected it for those reasons.

(...) Long ago there was a study offered here for review that discussed what lies behind the electrolyte imbalance that supports ectopic beats or PACs…. Not sure I can locate the study but the finding was that magnesium must be optimized inside the cells before potassium can work as it should to lengthen the refractory period or the time between heartbeats. It said that adding potassium too soon would make the ectopics worse. (...)
