“The score is based on four parameters: QRS width above 120 milliseconds (2 points), known etiology (2 points), paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (1 point) and severe atrial dilation (1 point). Total scores range from 0 to 6, with 0 indicating a greater likelihood of recovery.”
This could help a number of people determine what course of action to take.
I had a cryogenic ablation for affib about 8 years ago.
In the week before the operation my affib was so bad I could barely get around without breathing hard. Even then I could do very little.
What happened next felt like a miracle. They put me to sleep. Four hours later I woke up in recovery. I spent the night in the hospital. They released me the next day. A week later I was working out at the gym.
I was full of energy.
amazing. People may say it wasn’t a miracle. It was just a day in the life of the surgical team. But that’s not what it felt like to me.
Wow. Thanx for the post.
I am A-Fib diagnosed about 2 years ago. No ablation.......yet. I have a watchman in my heart to thin the blood to prevent strokes.
If there is a ping list, please include me.
Best wishes!
