Is your A-Fib stable: Since you say you have A-Fib. you must have seen a physician to confirm the diagnosis? If so you would have been electrically cardioverted, or placed on stabilizing medication. Any of these? Don't do a procedure in which you think you will develop cardiac problems. See a Heart Doctor before the procedure.
