Hi Julia, A great question. It is not common to have have arrhythmias in the first month following an ablation. In our experience, most of these early arrhythmias following an ablation resolve by about a month after the procedure (but sometimes they might require 3 months to resolve or they don't resolve after 3 months which might require a second procedure). The heart does require some time to heal following an ablation procedure. The key is to work very closely with your cardiac EP during this period of time to make sure you are protected from these arrhythmias. Hope this helps! John
Just had an ablation 2 weeks ago and have had 2 Flutter episodes already where I had to have cardio version. Is that normal after that procedure or did it not work?

Very helpful information that I practice.
