Thanks for your comments. I am aware of your extensive knowledge. My husband had an excellent ablation in 2020, and altho his afib has remained minor, he has had two episodes of SVT/flutter, about 6 months apart. Most recently April 28 when he needed cardioversion (HR 178; BP unmeasurable) in the ambulance called to take him to the hospital. His health is excellent other than his heart. He has good low blood pressure but it would be lowered too much with meds to lower his heart rate. His regular cardiol and an excellent EP both agree on pace and ablate and I am pretty sure that is a reasonable treatment (and I think my husband agrees.) A regular ablation is not as effective with atypical flutter, which is what he has. We expect he will be fine. Thanks again

@tsch Okay, it seemed to me that you were unsure of the way ahead, so just tried to put it into an objective perspective. If you both are reasonably secure in the proposed plan, I hope it goes well for you. I hope and expect that you will both come out ahead in due course and that he will go on to a comfortable existence. I wish you the best.
