Afib Questions: Is it too late to have an Ablation?

I'm almost 82, and I had a failed cardioversion done in November, which lasted just four days. I'm now waiting for a decision from Mayo on whether they'll do the ablation. My P.A. Cardiologist says I'm a good candidate. I hope my age doesn't affect that decision. I'm in and out of A/Fib daily!

You are not too old to get an ablation. The team may be deci ding on what type of ablation there is a coup,e different approaches. The other consideration would be what, if any other chronic conditions you may have. But I have seen many people with several comorbidities and increased age tolerate ablation and do very well.
