Thoughts

What do I think and feel about today's activities?

• I'm feeling happy to have the cardiac ablation to help resolve my heart arrhythmia with 24% PAC (atrial) early beats.
• Amazing technology. I was awake through whole procedure and could see a 3D color image of my heart in a section of a gigantic digital monitor next to me, including mapping and ablation catheter "finger" extensions inside the atria chamber.
• I'm hopeful that this will make it better.

Questions

Any questions for research or exploration?

• Will the ablation resolve my irregular heart beats?
• My electrophysiologist observed a spontaneous atrial fibrillation while in my heart, and had to wait 10 minutes before it stopped so he could continue; why did it this happen?

Actions

What can I do next?

• Resume Flecainide anti-arrhythmic pills, and monitor with daily Kardia EKG.
• Buy an Apple Watch as recommended by my electrophysiologist, and upgrade my iPhone; this will help monitor my heart for any future Afib events.
