So my question is....am I reading too much into this, or the fact that PACs are occurring daily, for a couple of hrs, and are breaking through the Flec is a sign of ablation failure?

.. I know that it is very tempting to watch like a hawk, but that level of attention can bring stress which can exacerbate symptoms. As others have said, you are in good hands and the weekly follow-up with your nurse navigator and NP will be extremely helpful.

If after a year and you are told you do not need to send weekly or monthly readings to the nurse navigator and you develop PACs and need to be advised of treatment options, does anyone know if Dr. Natale would continue to see a patient for treating the PACs or if the patient would need to see a local cardiologist for this? I know premature atrial contractions are an arrhythmia, but in reviewing the bios of the docs at St. David’s Medical Center, non mention the treatment of PACs. If an ablation for PACS is necessary I am sure it could be done there, but what about other monitoring for this condition?

It is my understanding that we can continue with Dr. Natale indefinitely as long as we have an annual telemedicine consult. When I was there recently, I asked if, when my Pacemaker needs to be replaced in 4 years, whether Dr. Natale would be able to advise me, and I was told yes. I believe this would be true for any cardiac-related concern as it can all be related to arrhythmias.

3 years post ablation, Dr Natale has kept me as his patient. Matter of fact he's my only Dr at this time. I might be his only patent in South Dakota, there not many folks up here

It's funny cause on any surgeon's website you go to, they always make it sound like most ppl that go there get their problem fixed for good, and that just a few will need a second touchup but after that second try 95% of ppl are "cured" blah blah blah. I say BS, to me it looks like only a tiny % is "cured", everyone else is told to come back for more and more and then eventually go back to meds lol.
