Information needed about an Ablationist
Posted , 2 users are following.
I've decided to get an Ablation and the best in Ireland seems to be Dr Szeplaki in Dublin.
I've been in touch with his office but can't get an answer as to whether he uses Imaging Equipment to map the whole heart and ablates all the involved nerves or just Ablates around the Pulmonary Vein without getting a referral and going for a Consultation - which would involve a lot of time, travel and expense.
Thanks

My heart was very unstabalized for months after both procedures, in fact much more after the second one. AF attacks really frequent (days apart) for best part of 4 months. The heart is taking quite an attack having so many areas burned so not sure how I would feel if the procedure was as extensive as the alternative you talk about (all involved nerves). I am glad to say I have now experienced 3 weeks clear of Af since my last Ablation in early November. My heart however now has misbeats many times during the day. Hope whichever you have is successful!

Thanks for replying, Shirley. Most ablations are PVI ablations. the kind you've had. The problem here is that if other nerves as well as those around the Pulmonary Vein are involved in the misfiring then a PVI simply won't completely solve the problem.

my point was the damage to the heart and how each person responds to the degree of burn.
the retry of going in and doing bits that had not scarred on several procedures would possibly be better for me rather than an intensive burn area in one procedure as my heart has not recovered well.
