← Return to Isolated Atrial Fibrillation Episodes: Is Ablation a Good Fit?

You have to be careful. We had two cardiologists in Maryland get caught over-diagnosing coronary artery disease so they could do unnecessary stents. I lost two teeth from a Maryland dentist who pretended to provide the necessary dental care so he could offer more expensive procedures. I would not be surprised if there were Cardiologists who under-treat patients so they can do more procedures. It may be worth getting a second opinion if it takes more than one ablation. What are they going to do, burn/scar your entire atria?

I agree totally. Doctors are given protocols that lead to handfuls of meds and yucky procedures that may or may not work and be worse than the issue. I have gotten rid of more health problems through nutrition etc. The docs did not help me and if I asked one question they would not look up because they were doing their reports or making out my bill. I know people who inject insulin but eat garbage and sweets because the doc says that they can adjust with meds. I know people who have died from cancer and spent the last year of their life in the hospital, doc office and taking chemo etc. and said if they had to do over again, would just live til they died. I know only one neighbor who lived through it so far. I have story after story of why I do things different. I am 76 and have a list of 37 people I knew that died, many smoking or drinking til they could no longer breathe.

I do not need a second opinion thankyou, my cardiologist is the head of the hospital.
Your not a Doctor so please don't diagnose me.
The tissue actually heals over time and repairs itself, that's why the AF comes back, that's why it's not a permanent fix, only temporary.
I will be having the new procedure called Pulsed field ablation, no burning involved.
Also I have not paid for any of my procedures or appointments with my cardiologist at all, its bulk billed, so your wrong that he is after more money.
