Medications are not perfect and ablation is often a good approach for many patients. Fortunately, techniques for catheter ablation have improved significantly over the years. If medicine is now working, that’s great. However, if you are still having problems with arrhythmias despite medical therapy, you may want to ask your doctor about re-considering another ablation procedure.
