Hi. I've read the main goal of ablation is to eliminate symptoms and improve QoL. The secondary goal is to acheive NSR and decrease the future risk of stroke, heart failure, etc. I'm 68 and drifting toward persistent afib with no symptoms and HR in 70s and 80s. I'm thinking about ablations to decrease risk of future stroke, heart failure, etc. But I'm afraid of ablations cby NealM - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi. I have been in persistent afib with rare symptoms for 1 year. Ablations have been recommended and are my next step. Can anyone recommend EPs in San Diego? Since I'm not symptomatic I am afraid of the slight chance of complications or poor results of an ablation. Has anyone had an ablation when they were asymptomatic and regretted having it done? Or does anyone regret NOT having it donby NealM - AFIBBERS FORUM
