Ablation, Dr. A. Natale, Cleveland Clinic

[Guest guest]

I am 56, otherwise healthy, bouts of afib for 20 years. Modified my

eating, drinking, excersise, took all measure of vitamins and

medicines. Condition grew continually more frequent until in chronic

afib last June. (actually a relief!, handicap dropped 2 strokes)The

Catholic blames himself for the afib, cold drinks, overheating, too

much anger, excersise, pizza, beer, red wine,,,the list goes on. My

guess now is that afibbers have some electricly charged cells in the

wrong area of your heart and they are firing and causing the afib.

After study, I made an appointment with Dr. A. Natale at Cleveland

Clinic and went last Monday. I am in SR today for the first time in a

year and am extremely hopeful, not to mention, happy and positive

about the quality of my life going forward. I don't know what the

eventual outlook is going to be but I suggest that everyone clearly

examine this option and forget the handwringing and vodoo medicine

that is being practiced alot around this issue. Dr Natale is a real

gentleman,his staff is efficient (and beautiful)the clinic is very

impressive and boom you are on you way home the next day. Use your

They apparantly forgive use for the period when we didn't trust

anyone over 30.
