Steve S Ryan, PhD's curator insight, April 22, 9:12 PM

For A-Fib patients who have had a catheter ablation or mini-maze surgery, I always recommend getting a copy of their "O.R. report". The Operating Room report is a blow by blow account of the techniques used, what was found, what was actually done, etc. (I'm skilled in reading these reports, but they may be difficult for the average patient.)

 

After reading a recent O.R. report forwarded to me by an A-Fib.com reader, I was quite impressed with the EP's extensive "hunting" to find and isolate all the sources of A-Fib pulses. He was like a private

detective searching for clues to locate the "guilty veins". His O.R. report reveals extreme skill and tenacity. I will enthusiastically recommend him. That's the power of ready a doctor's notes.
