They can work wonders with those procedures these days, rgG, and your husband will feel so much better once his heart is working normally. Being tired all the time is no fun. You are both in my thoughts today.I am guessing he is having an ablation?

I am not sure exactly what his procedure is called, they haven't used the tern ablation, but here is what they will be doing. They will be building a little dam or block within the right, I think, chamber of his heart to stop the electrical looping that is causing his heart flutter. They have been controlling his rhythm with meeds for several years and he decided he wanted to give this procedure a try, so that he can hopefully drop some of the pills he is taking, coumadin being one of them. The procedure is supposed to have a 95% success rate for his condition, but you never know what they may find once they start poking around in there. I hope this does work, because I really hate that he has to take so many medications.

And Phil, since this seems to run in his family, I think his mother gave him the angina.


Edit: They just gave me an update, that the procedure had been started and I asked what exactly it was called. It is an EP flutter ablation, so Gutie was correct.
