I had an index ablation with Dr Natale on June 14, 2023. My resting heart rate before the ablation (according to fitbit - looking at the trend, not necessarily the number) was in the upper 50s. Now, my RHR is in the upper 70s. I did have a bout with Covid in early October (which was mild) and there's a chance that's a factor too. It was upper 60s / low 70s before covid.by dparker - AFIBBERS FORUM
My index ablation was done by Natale on June 14 and my HRV is down in the toilet. My nightly readings from my fitbit range between 9 and 12. Heart rate is about 10 bpm higher than before. Still fairly early in the blanking period though, but I'd like to see some improvement.by dparker - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteSamIAm Does Dr. Natale look for those harder to reach parts of the heart to ablate? Or is it just PVI mainly? I had an index ablation with Dr Natale on June 14, 2023 and 47 minutes of RF energy lesions were delivered. As far as what was ablated on me, this is from my Electrophysiology Study Report 1) Successful isolation of all the pulmonary veins with confirmation of entrance blockby dparker - AFIBBERS FORUM
