Re a-fib, very very common. May not screw up your medical, There are meds
that work to control it, but ablation seems like a sure cure for many. If
it's serious you MUST get onto an aggressive anticoagulant, check with
your MD. Coumadin is most often used.



Ablation?

ab·la·tion (a-bla'sh?n) n.

1. Surgical excision or amputation of a body part or tissue.

2. The erosive processes by which a glacier is reduced.

(NAC) Necessary Aviation Content

3. Aerospace:
a.) The dissipation of heat generated by atmospheric friction, especially
in the atmospheric reentry of a spacecraft or missile, by means of a melting
heat shield.
b.) The reduction or removal of heat-protective surface material by
aerodynamic friction, as from a heat shield.

Whatever is wrong with you, good luck Mormie! g
