Hi!  Google Doctor Referrals.  I have used Healthgrades and Revolutionary Health with good results. If you need an ablation you probably need an EP doc.  Electrophysiologist.  He is a cardiologist who specializes in the electrical system of the heart.  Good Luck! Keep us posted.

The EP to go to at the Cleveland Clinic in Weston is Dr. Sergio Pinski. He is one of the best when it comes to ablations. Check out  "afibbers.org". Alot of people on that site have had ablations by him.

Hi everyone, I have a question, Is home stair climbing restricted after a pulmonary vein ablation?
Thanks

I had my ablation done in January. I live in a 2 story home (my bedroom in upstairs). My instructions when I was being released form the hospital was to limit my stair climbing for the first week, I had no problem with any type of groin pain or bleeding after the ablation and when I did use my stairs it wasn't painful. After about a week I went back to normal use.
