A member asked:
I unfortunately have a dilated left atrium and afib lateral size 6.00 cm is there any point in an ablation to ease this disease ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on the: type of ablation that is proposed. Your question needs to be more specific. Are you thinking an afib ablation or are you thinking an AVnode ablation with pacemaker implantation. Ask the question again but define the ablation.
