What I find significant here is that ablation is moving inexorably towards being acknowledged as a first-line treatment for certain types of afib.by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
Interesting comments, thanks!by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
Free reg required. Quote....New research is aimed at localizing the tissue source of the disorganized electrical impulses that generate AF. Our understanding of AF is evolving, and the source of AF is proving to be more focal than had been previously believed, lending itself to more precise physiological (as opposed to anatomical) mapping and consequent targeted ablation procedures.1 Reseaby Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
I guess I didn't have this, I had no "nausea, bloating, and abdominal pain." Dr. Hao's office were no help when I told them I was having difficulty eating. Another doctor told me post-op anorexia was not unknown. I gather this is what affected me.by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
It's not my article, it's a report of a recent study. You can evaluate it according to your own biases.by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
I understand the function of resistive starch. From Wikipedia QuoteRS1 Physically inaccessible or digestible resistant starch, such as that found in seeds or legumes and unprocessed whole grains RS2 Resistant starch that occurs in its natural granular form, such as uncooked potato, green banana flour and high amylose corn RS3 Resistant starch that is formed when starch-coby Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
(Free reg required.) QuoteParoxysmal atrial fibrillation (Afib) recurred significantly less often in patients initially treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) instead of medication, results of a randomized trial showed. Patients who received anti-arrhythmic drugs as first-line therapy had a recurrence rate of 72.1% compared with 54.5% in patients treated with RFA at 2 years. Patients tby Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM

What is the mechanism behind gastroparesis as a complication of ablation? I am wondering if this is what I had -- I had post-procedure anorexia, no appetite and difficulty eating. Took perhaps 4-5 months to go away, but my gut is still touchy.by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteYou can pretty much make your own NAC and DiRibose formula and combine it with a good balances anti-oxidant/anti-inflammatory adjuncts like Biotivias Pteromax and perhaps New Chapters Zyflamend and have a well rounded protocol for improving endothelial function as well as greatly reducing core inflammation ... adding in a good quality DHA/EPA and Vitamin D3/K2 combo as well.

Yes, I believe the incidence of esophageal fistula at CPMC, where Dr. Natale and protegees practice, is zero.by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
Shannon, doesn't Taylor's success with NAC indicate that form is working for him? I have reservations about the evidence provided by these ultra-specialized supplement makers to support sales of their own proprietary forms.by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
I would not use a coffee enema because of the stimulating effect of caffeine. I wonder about your nutritionist's understanding of your entire physical condition.by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
Good to hear you've connected with Dr. Hongo and like him. Best wishes for your upcoming procedure.by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM

Post-ablation, Dr. Hao told me to take 325mg aspirin a day. That's his protocol, and I thought I'd follow his advice. No, I'm not taking Warfarin or any other anti-coagulants. What about taking K2 with aspirin, hold the nattokinase?by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
Is there anything wrong with this combination? Is MK-4 vitamin K the preferred form?by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM

Yes, an antibiotic can cause palpitations in an already sensitized system. Be sure to take the antibiotic with food and a good probiotic (I like Goodbelly) at a time apart from the antibiotic.by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
You don't need to be in afib prior to the procedure, they will induce afib while you are out under the anesthesia so they can see the hot spots and ablate them.by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
Very good to hear, KenH. I had my ablation with Steven Hao at CPMC on 6/27/13, just a week before yours, with similar results.by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM

Allowing for individual variance, supplementing with DHA/EPA seems to improve health in general. Omega-3s are nutrients missing from modern diets.by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
Shannon, are you saying taking oral melatonin will reduce cortisol, causing a crash? Or that taking too much will go paradoxical, increasing alerting?by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
Contemporary ablations done by top doctors are quite safe, probably as safe or safer than taking the drugs, given the side effects, etc.by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hard to believe that, with my sleep disorder, I have anything but elevated cortisol at night.by Iatrogenia - AFIBBERS FORUM
