Atrial Fibrillation: Mechanisms and Treatment

[@CBL-if8jr]

*Thank you v e r y much from Germany, Dr.Schillinger, for this thorough and easy - to - understand presentation !* I will have an ablation soon and was delighted to be so lucky to have found your excellent explanation !!!

Very helpful I’ve had for years but never explained in detail what it’s about . I never had the shock treatment in both attacks just meditation to get back into rhythm. Both times cold drink and ice cream set it off for me. No slushys and fast eating of maccas ice creams.

Outstanding! Finally understand the journey.

Thank you for taking the time to do this .....It explained a lot , my doctor didnt ......

Really enjoyed your presentation. It helped allay my fears about cardioversion, ablation and pacemakers. I rather not have any of those treatment modalities but I am pretty certain that I will probably need all those treatments, besides taking Dialtizem and Metropolol. Too bad you don’t practice in Tacoma, Washington.

Very informative video.. Thank you. I myself have just had a pacemaker/defibrillator installed and am on a regime of Sotalol. My pacemaker is set to 70 bpm. I have been told that a normal ablation will not help me as my trouble is in the top of the heart and requires going in through the side of my body?

[@francessladden8939]

That was such a clear explanation. Thank you very much

@Emad How are you nowadays - a year later ? No Afib episodes anylonger ? Is your heart strong or did it suffer from all the episodes??

[@ralphliniado2404]

Why do we not hear that the left atrial appendage is removed from the heart when you do an ablation...to minimize the use of blood thinners and stroke? I know this sounds elementary, but if it is an appendage, I would imagine it can be removed like a appendix.

So what is that new mapping system called so I can see if my cardiologist uses it I had an ablation back in 09 and it did not work at all I'm hoping when I have another one this time itworks substantially better
