I think your first impressions are correct both about the ablation and the amiodarone. Any EP that has only a one week waiting period for an ablation is not a very busy EP. I would at a minimum want some time to see how frequent my events are happening. You didn't say if you are still in Afib or if you had a cardioversion or self-converted. I assume you are on some sort of anti clotting agent at least for the moment that will at least minimize the risk of clots.
Not to scare you but Afib can and does kill or cause damage from clots as well as heart failure from long term untreated chronic Afib. Anybody who says otherwise is totally misleading to say so. I only bring this up because there is someone on this list that continues to mislead people that Afib doesn't kill.AFib is a serious diagnosis. While this condition isn’t fatal in itself, it can lead to potentially life-threatening complications. Two of the most common complications of AFib are stroke and heart failure, both of which can be fatal if not managed quickly and effectively. But with care one can usually avoid those serious consequences. You need more information on how often you have events: whether they are self-limiting (self-conversion) and if cardioversions give you sustained relief. Also of importance is how fast your heart rate is when you are in Afib. The further above 100 BPM the greater the risks of complications.
