but my mechanics are the best. I messed around with A-Fib for 9 years until I found a surgeon who wrote the book on ablations. Knock on wood, my ablation was 6 years ago and I have stayed in rhythm. My BP today was 110/70. I have a tiny dribble of blood that slides down my ventricle when it pumps blood, or something like that. Cardiologist says no biggie, but she scheduled me for an ECHO this June just to keep an eye on it. I suggested a check valve that made my daughter laugh.

I am serious about anyone struggling with A-fib, PM me and I will PM back the best ablation surgeon on the planet, out of UPMC Pittsburgh.
