Hi all. Had my ablation 2 weeks ago. It went well the ep said all done and no issues.
Reading the doctors notes today it said my llpv went into af post ablation then normal rhythm when he froze the next pv.
Is this normal. ? It’s got me a little worried
Cheers

Sure, it's perfectly normal to be in afib during an ablation or to go into it during the procedure. The fact that the afib stopped when he ablated to next area is proof that he ablated a confirmed source of afib. There's absolutely nothing about those notes that should cause you concern.

Thanks Carey. Much appreciated. I’ve been a little nervous about reading the letter tbh
Just in case I read something I didn’t like the sound of.
My worry was - why and how can the pv go into Af AFTER he’s ablated it ? In my head I’m thinking
Well it’s been ablated so shouldn’t therefore be in Af ? And it hasn’t worked
Thanks

Burns are not yet scars. Scars are effective, but they need some time to form...
