Has anyone had this procedure, know of Dr. Inamdar, and what facility did you use? Please be kind with your responses we are both in need of compassion right now. We appreciate all the info we can obtain.

Is this for Afib? If so, is it paroxysmal (happens occasionally in episodes)? Or is it chronic? Also, she has to be able to tell (feel) when she is in Afib. Some people don't feel anything. I meet all those criteria. Mine is paroxysmal and I can feel immediately when it happens.
If she has paroxysmal Afib and can feel the flutter in her chest, write to me privately. I have had paroxysmal Afib since I was 32 (I'm 63 now). I refused the pills offered and instead looked for the cause of my Afib. While I did identify a couple of possible triggers, I also accidentally found a way to quickly convert back to a sinus rhythm. I shared it with doctors but they dismissed me because they can't make any money off of something that works without any help from the medical industry. It takes less than 30 seconds usually. It's been over 30 years since my first episode. I don't take any blood thinners or heart regulating drugs (or any drugs for that matter). I also don't even have a cardiologist. If you have Afib and can convert back to a sinus rhythm quickly, you effectively don't have it or the risks associated with it (stroke). I do reserve ablation as a possibility if my technique ever stops working. So far, it has been 100% effective 100% of the time.
