Hi --- I had a very tough time with a botched cryo-ablation and pacemaker implant in New York, and then countless PAC's, PVC's, and bigeminy after that. Now in the Los Angeles area, I found only one ElectroPhysiologist who really helped me. He's a real thinker and is also amazingly good at adjusting pacemaker settings to reduce arhythmias. He is the only EP I can recommend in this area. His name is Dr. Leo Polosajian. His phone is 818 718-1600.
You know something? I live in NYC and was approached for a cryo-ablation study to correct my a-fib last year. I had to decline because I can't tame Coumadin without the very real risk of fainting dead away on Broadway (Hey! great song title, there!) Were YOU part of that study? (No, I won't mention which hospital but it's up above WestWest nile virus 116th Street).
I do the "Pill in A Pocket" bit and usually, episodes subside withing two hours. I just had a honey of one that lasted for over twelve hours and have to see my doc on Monday.
