I would just like to say thank you so much for a very informative and easily explained description of Pace and Ablate. I have actually had this done to control my troublesome aFib. I could not tolerate even a small amount of beta blockers and flecanide did not work at all. I'd had a chemical cardioversion (3x bolus administrations, increased each time) which only made my heart beat even faster. After the cardiologist explained the offered PVI ablation had about a 70% chance of success i decided to go the pace and ablate route. I have never looked back and now, nearly a year on from pacer fitting, my AV mode ablation and a few pacemaker tweaks, my quality of life is so much better and I am able to exert myself cardiovascularly as I used to. I am so grateful.

Dr. Gupta I have been dealing with afib for 9 years and at 65 years of age it is getting worse. I am now on max dosage for betablokers. It is still very unsettling. I listen to your calm voice which helps me during my episodes. Please continue to share. Your knowledge and insights.

We are a doctor couple, my wife has been having AFib for several years now, she is on betalockers, flecarite and anti coagulants for several years. Despite treatment her episodes of AFib attacks were increasing and we were seriously considering ablation. She then seriously took up yoga ‘pranayam’ ( breathing exercises) which she believes decreases the sympathetic tone, she also worked to reduce the ‘ triggering’ points which in her case was tea, coffee, heavy meals and stress. Though she still takes regular medication, but those seem to be working now, the episodes are generally not happening and if she feels her heart rate is increasing on her apple watch she takes extra dose of Flecarite, she is also sleeping well due to breathing exercises. I thought I should share , it has worked for her and may do for others

Thank you so much for your informative videos. Earlier this year my general cardiologist recommended a Pace and Ablate procedure for me. It wasn't explained to me nearly as well as you did in your video. Luckily, the Electrophysiologist I consulted with didn't feel it was indicated at this time and instead, performed a more traditional ablation procedure, the third one I've had in seven years. I'm happy to say that so far I've remained in normal sinus rhythm. I realize that nothing lasts forever and that the possibility of a pacemaker still remains in my future. Meanwhile, I take my meds, monitor my rate and rhythm, and do my best to live a healthy lifestyle. Your videos give my great peace of mind and reassurance. Keep up the good work.

Thank you. I'm still dealing with the after effects post covid and had my first possible Afib last weekend. I had recently bought the Kardia (not for a particular reason or concern, just as a way to monitor) and I was able to take the printout to the GP on Monday, which was handy as their ECG came up fine. Off the back of that, they emailed a cardiologist and they advised referral and a prescription of bisoprolol. Whilst waiting for that cardiologists reply I had a second arrhythmia, this time I went to A&E for a check up (Blood's, Xray, ECG all ok) but they also referred me, off the back of the Kardia's readings. Both arrhythmias happened while in bed, with the second starting and finishing pretty much to the minute of closing my eyes and until getting up to start my day proper.

Hi Doc. I had an ablation because of persistent af about 11 yrs ago which worked till 2 yrs ago when I once again went into af. I've had two electrocardioversions since, the first one put me in rythm for six weeks and it was decided I should go on amiodarone before the next one whilst waiting for another ablation. I was cardioverted again last September and everything was good until January when I had to come off the amiodarone because of side effects. In the mean time I'd been looking at taking a supplement called berberine hcl for unrelated reasons and did a google search for amiodarone and berberine contraindications. Its then I found a study on pub med for the efficacy of berberine compared to amiodarone in the treatment of af. This study concluded no statistical difference between the two which was a huge surprise to me. I started taking the Berberine hcl when I came off amiodarone in January and I'm very happy to report ive been in rock solid sinus rythm since ( I feel every wrong beat but also has been confirmed by my gp ) . I am now reconsidering the ablation as taking berberine is well documented to have very few side effects even when taking long term. Please could you look at this and let me know your thoughts as for me it has been a total game changer. Thank you.

Dr: just watched your excelent & enlightening video on AF. Do you have any experience on the credability & accuracy of the Apple watch Series5, which purports to offer a reasonably accurate ECG & alert you to any period of AF or Low Pulse Rate? After some intermittant instances of AF alerts on my Apple Watch, I raised this with my Doctor, who was very sceptical & had not seen any data on the Watch's accuracy. A single ECG did not show any problems, which was to be expected. In these CV19 times, seeing a Cardiologist is nigh impossible! Thanks

@@mkshffr4936 Same as taking a beta-blocker. It slows your heart rate down, but with cardio exercise it still adjusts, and climbs as the exertion increases. I should know!😉

Medication, automation, and killing muscle sounds equivalent to the mechanic adding a piece of tape over the trouble light in your car.

I had A-fib at 180 bpm for about 8 hours or so before I was cardioverted. What is the "long period of time" before the Cardiomyopathy begins to develop?

usually, the fib if last for short period of time, days, It can't make to many problems to the heart, this is only when the heart is very weak. Now I'm also in a fib with a heart rate of 169bmp and I had lots of episodes like this. I'm in afib 2 days and the doctor plan to make the electric shock on Monday. I had also 2 ablation procedures with no much success and am thinking of making the pace and ablate procedures because I'm tired to be so often in the hospital.

Mine has been pretty high too. Almost 100 when lying down at night. I take cold showers and it helps a little. Spending a few minutes doing breathing exercises also helps to lower my heart rate. But It's frustrating when it happens all the time.
