3 ablation so over 2 years for atrial flutter
Posted , 4 users are following.
Newbie here. I had mitral valve repair surgery in 1999 and am currently 51 years old. Flutter began 3 years ago. 3 ablations with two different docs. Taking metaprolol and amnio (amnio only for 4 months), and my doc says to try another ablation at a center, and if that fails, to adapt to the flutter. I have no faith in another procedure. I am thinking of going off amnio now and just make appropriate life changes. Any thoughts or similar stories? Thanks in advance.

Mine seems to be triggered by exercise and stress.
Are there any scientific articles related to the vagus nerve and flutter/fibrillation?
Also, you mentioned that you will not do another ablation or new meds. That sounds great, but if the flutter gets bad, it may be another story. Thanks in advance for your response.

i have a mildly Dilated LA [40mm], which i have also now just learned is one of the main cause AF, i also have RV Trivial Tricuspid Regurgitation, Mitral Valve Regurgitation Trivial.
some other figures i dont understand are:
Left Ventrical
EDD 45mm [34-56mm]
IVS 9mm [<12mm] pw="" 9mm="">12mm]><12mm]
peridical effusion no
arctic valve
sinus of valsalva 36mm [22-36mm]
peak gradient 7 mm hg
no regurgitation.
i hope this may help you & others peridical="" effusion="" no="" arctic="" valve="" sinus="" of="" valsalva="" 36mm="" [22-36mm]="" peak="" gradient="" 7="" mm="" hg="" no="" regurgitation.="" i="" hope="" this="" may="" help="" you="">12mm]
