Patient.
Frequent atrial fibrillation.
The first ablation procedure was performed in June 2003 at Huo Ying Dong Cardiovascular Hospital in Guangzhou, after which the condition improved but was not cured, and subsequently became seriously ill again. Wang Jing, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Fu Wai Hospital, Beijing
In November 2007, he underwent a second ablation procedure at the same hospital, similar to the situation after the first procedure, and started to have frequent recurrences this year (1-2 times a month).
Usual medication is to take 1 tablet of Kotarolone, but side effects have occurred and I can only take one tablet 3 days.
I would like to get a radical or lasting effective treatment.

Atrial fibrillation ablation can be done for the third time, and amiodarone can be changed if there are side effects. There is no atrial defibrillator implantation, which is not practical. If the sinus rhythm cannot be maintained in the end, then atrial fibrillation ventricular rate reduction and anticoagulation therapy should be done. (What is the difference in treatment direction and outcome between atrial fibrillation ventricular rate reduction and anticoagulation therapy and ablation surgery? It is that instead of trying to revert AF, the main goal of treatment is to reduce the harm caused by AF.)
