@jachrist Thank you Jim. I'm so glad your comments about the ablation were very helpful. Do you know if you had a high gradient?
Wishing you all the best. Margie

I do not recall if my gradient was high or not. FYI: I also have cardiac amyloidosis (stiff heart syndrome) and my heart does not pump adequate blood to my brain so I experience ischemic strokes. All 4 of my heart valves also regurgitate blood but not significantly. I also have a hole high in my heart in the septum. Surgery was tried through my femoral artery but the leads for my ICD interfered so it was not successful. I was placed on Eliquis to avoid blood clotting.
