DnvrFox-Is ablation where they use electrical impulses to "correct" the electrical circuitry/signals to the heart (not sure I've properly described it). If so, a fellow I work with had it done at Duke University. He constantly had an irregular heartbeat (although I don't think it was Afib) and the doctors had tried medication, defribillators (?) and some other things but could not get him permanently squared away.

If what I've attempted to describe is ablation I can find out more info from him. By the way, after he had it done, he's not had repeated episodes. If I recall correctly, if the ablation had not worked they were going to do a pacemaker. He's in his mid 30's........
