There is a whole chapter in the book, "The AFIB Cure..." devoted to cardiac ablation and why the authors, two widely known Electrophysiologists, recommend the procedure earlier rather than later as is now the standard of care. I have had worsening AFIB for almost eight years now and I am ready. I took the book with me to my consult with my EP at Mayo and she recognized one of the authors and reviewed the key questions the book recommended I ask of her. This will be my first shot at the procedure so they are planning Isolation of the Pulmonary veins only. Everyone with AFIB should read the book, available on Amazon or anywhere I think.

Thanks for this information. I will get the book before my next visit to my cardiologist.
I had asked him about him about it a year ago and told that it was not for me maybe because I have had Afib for 15 years. I don't know if it is related but I seem to be very sensitive to cold weather. It may be because my metabolic rate is slowing with age but I wonder if my Afib and a less efficient heart may have something to do with it. Stopped taking Metoprolol as this slowed my heart rate too much, but still on Diltiazem, Digoxin and Xarelto.
