A member asked:

My brother is suffering from cardiac arrhythmia. on 12 of this month he went under rf. doctor started sotalol due to increase in heart beat.rf faile?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: The majority of people who undergo RF ablation will require medical treatment in addition. Moreover, it takes a good 6-8 weeks before the ablation success is determined since early temporary recurrence of arrhythmia is common even when it's completely successful. One must wait and see.
