Zio patch results

Just heard back from Dr N's office - 6 days of Zio (came loose after hot tub) not a single hiccup other than 2 seconds of tach (6 beats) during the 6 days I had it on. No idea if this is predicative of future NSR but happy for now especially considering the difficulties I had getting here. I'm not doing anything to press my luck.

Hoping I'll get the OK to get off Eliquis.

Congratulations!!

Was your LAA isolated? If not your chances are excellent to get off Eliquis. My LAA was isolated on my 2nd Afib Procedure. ALL my flows were great when I had my TEE 6 months later BUT I did not have a P wave. Dr. Natale put me on 2.5 mg Eliquis 2x a day. He does prescribe me 5 mg tablets which I split in half saving me a ton of money. It tried to get approval for the Watchman in 2019 but never was approved. I hate blood thinners but I do enjoy living.

Great news!!!

Notes in the EP report for LAA

6. Successful ablation of the left atrial appendage without isolation.

That's excellent!

I'm happy with the results but I really went through hell to get here. If I can milk this NSR for a decade or more, I will feel it was worth it.
