Considering Cardiac Ablation




This is J. Michael Mangrum, a top electrophysiologist/cardiologist. Dr. Mangrum treated my eldest son  for his recurrent atrial fibrillation which occurred from age 14 on. He also did the cardiac ablation procedure on him a bit more than a year ago, in order to diminish the frequency of these arrhythmias.  Dr. Mangrum would also have seen Daniel had we known that Daniel had a predisposition to any type of arrhythmia whatsoever. In fact, he had a peripheral involvement in the cardiac portion of Daniel's autopsy.    At the end of January 2012, I also began to have recurrent atrial fibrillation. If these frequent symptomatic episodes do not cease soon or come under better control, then Dr. Mangrum will be doing cardiac ablation on me as well.
