Any Ablation Success Stories?

Please ask your electrophysiologist or cardiologist if you should taper off amiodarone well before your Holter monitor assessment near the 12 week mark. I'm not an expert in this, but I do know that amiodarone has a long residual effect for several weeks after one stops taking it, and my expectation is that it might confound the record of the Holter monitor (saying you are free from AF when you are not, but the residual amiodarone is helping to keep it at bay...if you follow me). I could be dead wrong about this, in which case I'd love to hear back from you to correct my impression, but it's worth an ask.
