THANK YOU!

I want to thank to Mike Angelie and jack who answeared so quickly.Maybe ,i had need to gave you several information about my heart problems.6 years ago i have undergone a MVR (mitral valve replacement and Cryo maze procedure).THE MAZE wasn't successful maybe because of my moderatly enlarged left atrium or surgeon's experience....A short story: beeing A.fib. highly symptomatic .I have been almost all this time in synus rhytm using drugs like Amiodacore RHYTMOL or Elektricalcardioversion...until now.the dual chambre PM WAS IMPLANTED in hospital when i almost passed out because the high BETAblocker dose (with my synus node problems togheter).For now i don't have problem with myEF -IS NORMAL but continue and progressive A.fib is a future frightening.....
THANKS!

I sense fear in your post. I have lived in rate controlled a-fib for over 3 years now. I went through the drugs you talked about and all the side effects that went with them. I have the bi-ventricular ICD . It can pace me 90% of the time so it appears I am in sinus. My EF is 30% so you are looking pretty good! Once the right meds are found you will have no problems at all being in a-fib. I have been where you are and it is very scary,,but very liveable.
take care

You know you're wired when...

You play MP3 files on your pacer.

It may be the first time we've felt a normal heart rhythm in a long time, so of course it seems too fast and too strong.
