Dear Friends, Thanks for the encouragement and for being there for me. It's hard to believe that PACs are OK when they feel so bad but I guess that's true. Dr. Natalie doesn't e-mail his patients--or at least he never gave me his e-mail address--however his assistants are very attentive. Christina from his staff called me last night and told me not to worry and that I could have (but probably won't) PACs all my life and it wouldn't matter. In answer to your question regarding a touch-up, Mike, I might be mistaken but I think a PVI gets rid of a-fib but not necessarily PACs or ectopic beats. I think they'd only do a touch-up if I returned to a-fib.
