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

@riverpark, It sounds like you got a bit more confidence from the experiences of @suerte, @harveywj, @kudzu, @dandl48, @lhesse and the scientific resources from @gloaming.
You may notice I updated the title of the discussion to focus on the topic of whether there are exclusion criteria for older adults regarding ablation.
@riverpark, if you are a deemed a candidate for an ablation by your electrophysiologist at your upcoming appointment, would you have any concerns about moving forward with that procedure?

Hi Justin,
If deemed a candidate, I definitely would have concerns over whether or not to go through with it rather than stick with meds. But I’d need much more info from the electrophysiologist than I have now to make that decision, including info about how my age might factor into everything during and after the procedure.
