This is encouraging to me also! I had a successful ablation last April and am still taking Eliquis and Carvedilol. I cut it down on my own but my electrophysiologist says I should wait an entire year. I don't understand why and why yours thinks differently. So confusing.

Don’t know the difference except I was pretty adamant that I wanted off the metoprolol because of horrible vivid dreams (I would wake up stressed out). I also stressed that I have a diet full of blood-thinning foods. Maybe because I’m a squeaky wheel or simply because different docs have different comfort levels. I am 63; I don’t know if that makes a difference, and my CHADvasc score is only 1 (for being female)
