I just had pulsed field ablation today. I had very infrequent, short episodes of afib starting about 2 1,/2 years ago. But I started keytruda in July 24 and had an episode after each of my every 6 week infusion. The last one in May threw me into persistent afib. Thus the ablation. I really hope it works since I feel every heartbeat. Also I'm due for keytruda next week and will be checking with my cardio-oncologist to see if it's safe.

Thx for your reply. EP said 20% likely that Keytruda caused his Afibs and flutters. He had ablations, then Cardioversion, then Amoiderone rate medication. Still having Afibs. Now also having thyroid issues.
He’s been on Keytruda every 3 weeks for 1 year, and has remained cancer free. I understand that Oncolgist doesn’t want him to die from cancer by doing the full protocol, but need to consider impact on other organs, esp heart. We cannot seem to get Onc and EP to discuss.
