Hello, New to this group and have questions about ablation.
My 73 yr old husband is considering ablation for paroxysmal afib. The afib was discovered during pre-eval testing for autogulous SCT. The transplant took place in September 2022. During the high dose chemo of the inpatient stay he was placed on metropolol for ventricular RVR. Currently he is taking diltiazem due to side effects from metropol.
The EP indicated that it is common to continue to take antirhymic drugs after ablation. We understood that the Eliquis would be continued but were surprised to hear about the continuation of the antirhythmic drug.
In addition we were informed about clinical trials of a new technique of ablation called PFA - pulsed field ablation - with higher success rate and lower adverse events.
Would like to hear about others experiences. THANKS !
