no, i don't believe it was from incompetent medical advise. not everyones afib is the same. i also had to have a pacemaker implated and have an av ablation. the ablation that denvr had would not have done a thing for me. along with afib i experanced tachycardia or very high heart rate. during exercise my bpm would go as high as 240. thats a little high for 62 at the time. perhaps in the future there will be other procedures to cure the problem. its been a year for me and have had zero problems and would advise someone to do the same if everything were the same. the only negative is i must still take a blood thinner, althou not as much as before the ablation.
