Heart Rate after Ablation

Has your EP or cardiology team suggested that they will want you to begin to taper off with the metoprolol before long? This is the usual protocol because of what I explained above...you don't want to wear a Holter at the 10-12 week mark with a heart 'helped' by drugs...you want a veridical assessment of your heart's electrical health and of its rhythm tendencies, including if there are 'PACs', or if there are long pauses, or runs of tachycardia, etc.

gloaming, I saw your previous post about not contaminating Holter results with any meds, which certainly makes sense. My first follow up visit with my EP since the procedure is in a couple of weeks, at which time I expect to cover that and other issues.
