8 decades also. Saw the pumpologist today because a recent cardioversion didn't hold. Going to increase one med by 50% and try the procedure again in a week of two. Been in rhythm for six years but I guess one never knows.

On my last visit the dr said I was in afib again. At 84 they don't like to do invasive procedures, and he was of the opinion that things like ablation are temporary fixes anyway. So he just said to live with it.

After 50 years in the practice of medicine, and being almost 82 myself, my suggestion, get another opinion!
