An old thread but I thought I'd pitch in anyway.
I had palpitations for many years, eventually diagnosed as Atrial Fibrillation. After juggling around with various medications I was eventually put on Wafarin. Then I was referred to the heart clinic at St. Bartholomews hospital in London where the head of the department is regarded as the doyen of affairs of the heart in the entire UK. He recommended that I had a Catheter Ablation. A procedure where they enter your body via the groin. Two small entry points. One for camera, the other for a laser. They travel up an appropriate artery direct to the offending heart chamber and sever a few errant muscles. The procedure is not always guaranteed to work first time, as was my case. But second time round my heart is now plodding along nicely at a slow steady rate. I am still on Bisoprolol and Rivoroxiban which I believe is another name for Xarelto. But enjoying a more or less normal steady existence.
