I have been having pvcs. and flutter for the past 2 months. seeing a cardiologist. recommendations on pros and cons for flecainide vs ablation.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I say ablate: Every single one of my patients on flecainide has had problems with drug- drug interactions or problematic side effects. Ablation is usually low risk , quick, easy and permanent. I say ablate that puppy
