Could it be A Flutter and not A Fib?

My first cardiologist completely missed my AF by simply going by what the computer read out said was AFL! I went to two expert
EPs who reviewed the Ziopatch results snd independently confirmed the AF AND the AFL! So it works both ways.
FYI, my AF/AFL burden was only 2%, and both EPs still recommended a catheter ablation to nip the arrhythmias in the bud.

@thisnthat Wow! That is scary. It takes so long in between to see these guys..I will be one year now until I meet the new one. The last Dr. was not keen on an ablation as he thought too low a burden, but was open to a Watchman. I asked about doing them at the same time, he said we could talk about it this year. Not having had any attacks in a year maybe the new guy will run a longer Zio or test of some sort. I hear people have had no attacks for 2 or 3 years than have it again, hard to know which way to go. Did you have the ablation?
