@diane07710 Hi, Diane. What was the rationale given to you for the PM? I can see an ablation, especially if it's likely to work on your arrhythmia, and because you are so early in the progression (you're not in AF all the time, just more often, but it does self-limit. That means it is 'paroxysmal', or the first stage....exactly where every AF patient WANTS to be!). But, if your HR is in normal range pretty much all the time, your ejection fraction is good, your BP is good....why the PM?

I was in paroxysmal until the incident the end of March. I am now in persistent afib...I don't come out very often. A year ago it was about 50% of the time. I have had low heart rate for years. In the 40's at night which is expected to return which is the reason for the pacemaker. My lowest rate that I'm aware of is 38 BPM....last fall.
