It is interesting to hear about the improvements over the last 10 years. I had my ablation a little over 10 years ago. I will certainly be asking my EP about these improvements because it is not unlikely I will need to undergo a second ablation procedure.
No one mentions the extraordinary cost and lack of insurance coverage of these newer blood thinners, as if this would have no effect on quality of life for many of us.
A dude put up his hospital bill for a 1 hr.ablation, it was$232,000. He said he had insurance.
Welcome to healthcare in America....
Thank you, most informative.
Hi Stony Brook Heart Institute- I am glad to see this. I was wondering about heart arrythmia's while I'm listening.
My cardiologists want me to hold off on ablation with my diagnosed mitral valve-induced AFIB and continue with flecainide to convert back to normal sinus rhythm. But I know this treatment cannot last long before the valve needs to be fixed and ablation performed. This treatment cannot last long because I'm taking flecainide more and more frequently. I think my smartwatch does a good job at detecting AFIB, where an elevated heart rate AND high heart rate variability are shown when I am at rest.
Great video. I am looking at having an ablation (get to discuss it with the cardiologist tomorrow) so your video was very helpful and extremely informative. Thank you
Me too. How was yours and how successful?
Abrahm (Sp?) I like your presentation style and explanations.
Thank you 🙏
I've been waiting six months to get a doc
Early derection is crucial. So Kardia like devises should be owned by the older folks as a standard thing since so many don't show symptoms. It would have made a difference in my case.
You don’t do electrical conversion?
I had 3 ablations and 8 cardioversions. Didnt't work. Just started tikosyn 4 weeks ago. So far so good.
I have been taking Magnesium Taurate for just a week, having heard this particular form of magnesium is good for the heart, and my AFib has practically disappeared.
LettyK, That is such good news. what brand & what dose did you take? I’m asking for a family member. Thanks so much for sharing.
@@signsandgraphicsinc I'm in the UK and the brand is BioCare, you can find them online. The dosage is 146mg twice a day. I tried to leave a link but TH-cam would not allow it. Hope this is a help to you and your family member.
LettyK, I am doing research for my family member who has afib. Just curious, where did you here this type of Magnesium was helpful for afib. I will definitely seek this out. Thanks a Million!
My Doctor suggested 400 mg per day

What is the difference between PVC (premature ventricular contraction) and A-fib?
Really good info! Excellent questions and answers for the doctors!
I've Afib for 2 years, two mild strokes in 2 years despite Eliquis 5. CABGx4 in 2001at age 53. Body mass 31. Had Amplazter Amulet installed 2 /8/2024. TEE follow up 3/28/2024. Afib resting range 62-57. Would the new "hybrid ablation" be benificial for me?
This is Lakisha- Alumni this is for the year 2023. I know that I've send this before.
nobody mentions Cardioversion. Why? Do you not think this is an option?
afib is progressive, so eventually the cardioversion will not last very long. my history is 1st cardioversion lasted 2 years, 2nd 1 week, 3rd four days.
my Cardioversion only lasted 31 hours

@@donaldobrien9171 have you ever considered or had an ablation ?
@@donaldobrien9171 It can be progressive if you don’t correct the underlying conditions contributing to the afib.
My brother's is in afib and had a procedure where they shocked his heart twice and had no change he is still in afib what is next for him ???
ablation
I needed 3 shocks to get my heart back in rythym. I'm glad they didn't stop at two.
Just saw this. So a little late comment... Ablation, ablation, ablation. Why even talk about anything else. That's all they want to push. Easy money. The stats these dr's are talking about aren't reflected in the medical literature.. 65% success rate at best. 1-2 % mortality rate. My mom had one and woke up in the IC unit a day later after a botched ablation. Burnt a hole in her heart and had to have emergency open heart surgery. I've had 7 electro cardioversions and am trying to avoid ablation like the plague.
During exercise how much HR is too high
150
That depends a little bit on what your normal heart rate is. I would suggest that two times your normal heart rate is healthy, three times gets a bit more iffy and four times is certainly too high. I am not a doctor.
I was diagnosed with Afib 6 years ago after having an attack whilst riding my bike. I was prescribed Flecainide and Xeralto for a anticoag. I gave up cycling then after a year I started running. I joined a running club and compete in road races, cross country and Fell races. Don't let it stop you! I am 76 years old.
