| Personal comments | i have no faith in what they tell me about this illnness as
they keep changing the goal posts,can never get a straight
answer from my consultant.
from what i have found out on the internet you cannot remove atrial fibrillation by performing ablation operations you can only cure atrial flutter but my consultant has never told me this,i am also it is not a serios condition, but in the u.s.a. it is considered to be. |
