Thank you for sharing your experience. I, too, am terrified of the loading process, but have to try the next step as rate control has not worked. I could not try either propafenone or flecainide because they are not used when you have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Glad to hear dofetilide is working for you. I am hoping for the same. Living with persistent AFib with rvr is definitely not fun.

I would definitely recommend that you go with an ablation. I had mine in January of this year and have had no issues with AFIB since. Did not realize how crappy I was feeling due to the AFIB went away. The actual procedure turned out to be a non event for me as I was put under in the morning and discharged that afternoon. Recovery went smoothly too. Will need to be on blood thinner forever but I don’t have a problem with that. Best wishes for a resolution to your condition.
