Thank you Gloaming for the thoughtful and thorough analysis of recovery process. As a CCRN in cardiology and as a SVT and Afib patient I am frustrated at the lack of explanations from the Electrophysiology team. They are crazy busy yes but also typical lack of communication skills and a narrow focus excluding often the person in the bed.
I have had a paroxysmal Afib ablation last year with pretty good success now that it has been 1 year post and SVT ablation this past March.(so far so good but remain on Sotalol for now) The exercise tolerance is compromised however and there is no guidance for that. Kind of on your own to figure it out.

Is there a particular reason you're still on Sotalol? Were you taking it when you had your Holter at about Week 10-12? If so, that's very surprising to me....both that you're still taking it and that you were on it during the Holter. I don't want to pry, but in my admittedly limited exposure to all things AF/SVT and the various people posting here and there about their experiences, the idea is to be off anything except the usual (statin and DOAC for risk management) so that the Holter indicates a veridical record of the heart's true condition.
