What is the age cutoff and other exclusion criteria for ablations?

I have no idea of their reasoning, but my cardiologist first told me that Kaiser Permanente has a standard age cut-off of 70 for ablations but that I nevertheless would be an acceptable candidate at age 79 because of my active lifestyle, trim BMI, and otherwise good health.

I am with Kaiser in Denver , am 79, and have an ablation scheduled in a week (4/18).

I am 85 and yesterday I had a telehealth appointment with an electrophysiologist from the University of Colorado and he said that I am a perfect candidate for Pulse Field Ablation. Right now, just waiting to set up a date for the procedure. I am active, but only through the daily routine of dealing with the chores associated with caring for my small ranch and large animals.
