Ablation Followup and PACs

[Guest guest]

Hi...I have been viewing group messages on and off for awhile. My

husband had a radiofrequency ablation for afib on 9/20/05 at the

University of Michigan Hospital. He has had 2 cardioversions in the

past and stays in NSR for about 7-8 months. His cardiologist in

Muskegon is always reluctant to do the cardioversions and he had to

practically insist to get it done. That is one reason he elected to

have the ablation. Also he can't tolerate the afib without lots of

symptoms like fatique, shortness of breath, loss of voice, etc. He is

currently on Coumadin, Flecainide and his HBP meds...Lopressor and

Lisinopril/HCTZ.

He is scheduled for followup on 1/4/06 and is concerned about

what he calls PACs. I haven't seen much info on this and wondered if

others could share their experience or knowledge. He is currently in

NSR but describes the PACs as almost as debilitating as afib. Is there

any treatment for the PACs or is this something that he will have to

live with?
