Just curious if the LAA becomes the source of flutter or AFIB again after the LAA was ablated and the watchman installed can the area be ablated again?
Or is reoccurrence never the case?
Thanks,
Tony

Then how can atypical flutter be fixed if the gap(s) are encapsulated in scar tissue?

Afib and flutter often appear together. Sometimes flutter will appear first, and when it does it's a pretty good bet that afib is in your future. They're both caused by caused by the same underlying process, which goes by the not-well-defined name atrial myopathy. Basically, fibrosis forms in the atria, which creates barriers the same way an ablation does. It's likely related to atrial stretch, which can be caused by hypertension, valve problems, and/or prolonged strenuous exercise (endurance athletes). Those barriers can have gaps, so there's the flutter. And by processes that aren't well understood, they can also cause the random firing of cells that make up afib.

But the reasons why there might have been fibrosis in my heart chambers (not sure) are obscure.

My speculation is yes.Quote
i have never had an ablation so is that why i never had flutter?

How would I be best reducing my C reactive protein level to 1?

Thanks, George. From what I can understand, it's interesting, but it's not easy for me to read that, since I'm French talking and no scientist.
From what I've learnt, mainly from you in this case, the root cause of my afib may be over exercising. But it's hard to be sure of that for two main reasons. The first one being I've never exercised a lot, nor too strongly. I've never been an avid athlete. Far from that. Just the amount of exercise one would read as recommended. That's why my heart is normal.
The second reason is I've detrained to a point where I've been nearly sedentary, and it did not change anything. Now, I've re-trained a bit, and it's still the same.
To date, nothing I've changed in my habits, food, drinks, supplements, drugs... has showed a result. And all exams I've had (and I've had some) have returned fine results.
The only thing I've yet never been able to change consistently is my stress level. It does not seem high, but I'm far from being quiet all day long. Next year I'm retired, so let's hope it'll bring some good changes...

I live near the seaside in the UK and there are groups of ladies, my age, who regularly go into the sea, weekly in their costumes all year round. They come out the sea very pink, but happy. I’m not sure if I am brave enough.
