About Me

Had heart ablation in February 2017. Was not successful. Placed on different meds to stop afib. Nothing worked until added amiodarone for 3 months post ablation. It did stop the afib but afib returned after discontinued. Beginning a structural heart study to deteremine if my mitral valve needs repair/replacement followed by a convergent ablation. Structural heart study begins October 9 2017.
