@mamadorbauman,
Oh, your PFE was pretty sizable! No wonder your cardiologist and PCP wanted to err on the side of caution. But not walking your 🐕?! AI went a bit overboard!
(My EP never ordered a TEE before my ablation, as I had already been on Eliquis for 4 months, but my cardiologist at the time was still surprised that no TEE had been done. Better safe than sorry, my take!)
Extensive stroke history in my family, too. I wonder if there may be a genetic component to this, or if it’s just luck o’ the draw…?
Well, at least you can rest easy now that you don’t have to worry about the PFE! Appreciate your input immensely! 🙏
