Heart Monitor after PF Ablation?

It's not my experience, but your lack of measured, or sensed, arrhythmia since the time of your ablation, and his own personal look-see, has him comfortable. I would take that and run....personally. 'Start..the....car..!!
😀
About the only thing left, again based solely on my experience and many readings, is that you should be on an anti-coagulant if your risk of thrombosis is still high based on the CHA2DS2-VASc score a competent person assigns to you. But, if your devices and your spidey sense all say you are clear, and this is what he is using to judge, then who are we to argue?

Thanks for the replay...By "run" do you mean I should run away from him and find a new EP or move forward with confidence that all is well? BTW, I am on Xarelto 20mg and metoprolol 50mg daily, which he feels I should continue taking at least until the 6 month milestone.

I showed him printouts of my Apple Watch ECGs, which indicate occasional PACs/ PVCs, which he says should diminish over time. He thinks I'm obsessing over this too much. As a charter member of the worrywart club, I would have felt more comfortable with a monitor. I told him if my PACs /PVCs increase or if I experience an Afib event, I will be in contact pronto.
