Yes, I am in a similar position. I had a cardiac ablation in August. It is now March. During my follow up with my electrophysiologist, he informed that although everything sounded fine (he will not do a CT scan for a year) that I should plan to be on blood thinners for the rest of my life. I am planning to get a second opinion as I do not agree with that theory. I would like to be blood tested for blood clotting factors and have a CT scan at the six month point. If all is normal, I do not see why I need to stay on blood thinners. I was using alternative supplements (Serrapeptase, Olive Leaf Extract, Omega 3's, etc.) together with a Mediterrean Diet before the ablation. Before the ablation my blood clotting factors were within normal range, so I assume they were working. My only problem was the arrhythmia. I was placed on blood thinners after the ablation. I understood from what I read that I could go off them six months after the ablation, if all went well. Any thoughts?
