My cardiologist wants me to do an ablation because my resting heart rate is 36 and putting me on beta blockers lowers that even more. Not my favorite resolution, but one bout of a-fib is all I really want to experience.
We did the ablation (on my husband) with perfect results.
My Afib started in March of 2020, rhythm was restored about 24 hours later.
Then had 3 more spells before the last one which lasted 10 days.
Metoprolol didn’t help anymore, so finally Dr. put me on flecainide, which took 3 days to take effect.
Flecainide is a sodium blocker.
I know someone who has had good results with ablation when nothing else worked.
If I have any problems or max out on the flecainide, I will probably have the ablation.
