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

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.

Thanks, Suerte. That is very reassuring! I just got an appointment for an appointment in a couple of weeks to see an electrophysiologist at Kaiser here in Sacramento, so the 70 age limit is clearly not a firm one…

I have been exploring this option with more than one major health care facility no mention of age limit at all. Not sure how insurance would play into this which may be the reason for varying views on this.
