Has anyone heard of Cardiac Ablation for Afib?
Sometimes its called Catheter Ablation.
Curious if it help the AFib.
My 36 yr old son is due to have the Ablation next week and from he was told you can not tell
right away if it worked.

I am so worried it won`t work, he has Afib almost everyday and hours at a time, meds just made it worse and side effects were terrible.
Thanks

I have never heard of it, but I would definitly do some research. Don't forget, some procedures are just like that, you do not see the benefits right away. Good thoughts and prayers are with you and your son!
