Pacemaker recipients: Looking for support from others

@lacudia Hello - I was wondering how you are doing after the AV node ablation and pacemaker implant. I find that most pacemaker recipients have it because of bradycardia or some sort of heart block. I am particularly interested in dual chamber PMs meant for Afib and flutter and how it all works. My EP is advocating it as a last resort should all the other options - 3rd ablation, propafenone, amiodarone, etc. does not work. Thanks.

I have dual chamber PM for bradycardia as result of my EP wanting to put me on Sotalol. That part works fine.. no exercise restriction( treadmill). But as for PM intervening an aFib episode, so far it hasn’t. It’s a low % success rate & I am one.Disappointed but Sotalol seems to help self convert me.. so that’s good. Sotalol is safer than Flecainide for structural heart disease ( valve issues). Hope this helps answer your concerns.
