General Advice/Comments About Ablation Recovery
Greetings, my AFib/SVT ablation is coming up end of the month. I'm hoping for comments about going through the recovery process. I'm 76, have well-managed congenital SVT, but was diagnosed with Persistent AFib last year. I didn't want ablation so had 2 cardioversions, took Amiodarone for 7 months, loved the NSR, but stopped because of severe neuropathy. EP prescribed Flecainide without waiting for the washout period and I ended up in the Emergency Department. Have Persistent AFib now. Got a new EP and was told my heart has been compromised, can't take any more antiarrhythmics, and need an ablation immediately.
I understand about the Blanking Period, but the only med I can take is a beta blocker. On a practical level, what does recovery look like?
