Wow that's a lot. They usually put you on amiodarone for a few weeks after an ablation just to keep you in rhythm. I had two ablations both only lasted 8 months. It will be interesting to see what my heart doctor says in a few weeks after I have been on amiodarone for a year now. It has kept me in rhythm, but the side effects are terrible. Thanks for your input.

Just started Amiodarone for arrhythmia breakout. Flecanide no longer working as PiP. To remain on Amiodarone for 6 weeks until CV early June.
Will see EP then to discuss way forward. Think he will probably suggest/offer ablation. I expect CV to bring me back to NSR.
Dilemma is do I agree to ablation and if so do I remain on Amiodarone temporarily or, refuse ablation and agree to remaining on low dose Amiodarone long term.
Ablation success rate dependent on so many factors and Amiodarone toxic long term. 🤔
Husband just had ablations for 2 afibs, put on amiodarone 200mg, follow-up appt is in 2 weeks.
I am concerned that your ablations only lasted for 8 months. Can you provide reason why?

PLEASE be careful with the amiodarone.
One year seems like a long time.
