I just celebrated my 2 year anniversary of my mitral valve replacement and septal myectomy. I have been diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I was doing really well until last September when I went into aFib. I was cardioverted and three month later went into aFib again. I was in sinus rhythm as usual after a cardioversion but 20 hours later I went back into aFib. We are now talking AV Node ablation. I had a cryo-ablation prior to the open heart surgery. That didn't work. I already have an ICD and all they have to do is add another lead and turn on the pacemaker part and then do the AV Node ablation. Any one here ever had one? I know it's last resort and makes things pretty final. How is it working for you if you have had one? Thanks Tim
