My experience has not been good. I did not inform my local EP I was going to Natale beforehand. The reason I found this forum and Dr. Natale is I was going through a bad bout and my local EP practice would not see me in any reasonable time frame. It was weeks to see a PA and months to see the Dr. I informed them after my ablation and told them it was nothing personal and I would like to keep workby Skford - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Folks, I had a second ablation with Dr. Natale on 3/2. After the first one last November it seems I had fewer episodes of afib but stayed in persistent aflutter. A cardioversion only held for two days. Dr. Natale said that the errant circuits he had worked on in November had reconnected and he didn't know why.

Hi Folks, I may have messed up and missed a dose of Eliquis last night, I can't remember for sure. I'm scheduled for a touch up ablation with Dr. Natale a week from tomorrow due to persistent atrial flutter. I'm scheduled for a chest CT the day before as a follow up to the FaraPulse study.

Hi Folks, I had an ablation with Dr. Natale in November and so far it's not working great. I have persistent flutter. Dr. Natalte's office is recommending I get a CV but my local provider says they don't worry about it unless my resting bpm is 120 or above, it's about 72. I see them again on the 27th to try and figure out what they're going to do. Here is a complicatinby Skford - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Folks, I'm set up with Dr. Natale for an ablation next month. I've been told I'm a candidate to participate in the trial for Pulsed Field Ablation. As I understand it the trial is randomized so even if I sign up I may not get the PFA. What's the current thinking on PFA? Thank you for your help!by Skford - AFIBBERS FORUM
