Re: Is a Chronic AF a candiate for PVA?

[Guest guest]

PVA is done for people who have chronic affib-There may be a slightly lower

sucess rate for chronic affibers vs. paroxymal affibers but many people with

chronic affib have pvas and it is not true what was told to you that having

chronic affib eliminates your being considered for a pva. Amediorone does not

require a hospital stay to be started on it so why would you be put in the

hospital for startup of it? Also, what mreasons are they giving for potentially

putting in a pacemaker, are they considering doing an av node ablation and then

adding a pacemaker which is a last resort type of option-
