EP Leadless Pacemaker & AV Node Ablation
Heart Rhythm Conditions | Last Active: Aug 5, 2023 | Replies (15)Comment receiving replies
I am due to have an ablate & pace soon. I have had 3 anlations but have not been successful. To be honest I am looking forward to the procedure. My cardiologist says I will have a better quality of life and I will feel better. I am very anxious with the afib but I feel if I am not aware of it, fingers crossed, the anxiety will ease. Am I too naive and optimistic?

Hello, this may help relieve some of your anxiety.
I’ve dealt with afib for over 15 years. I also had a stroke 15 years ago. So lucky to not have much after effects. I’ve literally been on every pill available, seems like my body became immune to them.
I have had 4 ablations, and countless conversions.
Finally another fix, consider it the last resort for me.
Exactly what your having done,
Implanted pacemaker and a av node ablation. For me it was lifesaver. I can’t say how happy I am to have made that big decision with my heart and my life. Also I trusted my doctor.
Best wishes to you,❤️
Please keep us posted of your recovery. Be thinking of you,

Hello @ev1
Going into this procedure with optimism is great! It sounds like you have tried many other options to treat the A-Fib, and this is recommended by your doctor as the next step. Of course, none of us can make this decision for you. That said, please know that if a second opinion would make you feel more comfortable, it is within your right to get another opinion.
If I were facing this decision, I would also be optimistic. Your attitude is the one thing that is in your control right now.
Do you currently have a date scheduled for this procedure?
