Had an ablation almost two months ago, with just one episode of AFib the following day and nothing since. I was told to halve my medication of anti-arrhythmia and anti-coagulation drugs after one month free, and soon will be instructed to discontinue both. At some stage I have to wear a Holter monitor for a week.
Is it normal to discontinue taking Warfarin or in my case, Pradaxa (dabigatran) after such a short period? I was previously taking low dose aspirin only as I could not tolerate Warfarin (coumadin) and the cardiologist would only prescribe three months worth of Pradaxa to cover one month before and two months after ablation.
