Does this group deal with seemingly incurable arrhythmia? I’m in the Mayo arrhythmia group, but looking at this page today for the first time, there seems to be useful info here, too. It seems that arrthhmia folks are more in the “Dime a Dozen” category with all cardiologists,and no innovative research is being done”. . My experience with my arrhythmia surgeon is good, but he’s having to do a second ablation as the 1/24 one didn’t stop my 5 year history of gradually increasing BPM (now regularly in the 130’s). I react badly to propofol, and repeated cardio versions and now repeated ablations are causing severe mental deficiencies (memory, confusion). I just get the feeling from all cardiologists that AFIB folks are second class patients, and we are offered few treatment or research options. If the May 2d total ablation of my AV node and a reprogramming of my pacemaker (to have it slow my BPM) doesn’t work, is it “wait for your stroke” now?
Can this group offer help? Does Mayo have arrhythmia specialists?
