A member asked:
I suffer with af. it is triggered by the vegas nerve .can this be ablated and is the area in the pulmonary veins or elsewhere?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You need the nerve: I presume you mean atrial fibrillation. Such being the case, i believe you need the vagus nerve. It is usually controlled by medication. The nerve begins in the brain stem and does go into chest.
