Q: 

At age 54 diagnosed with a-fib. Planning ablation. Is this a premature decision/risk?

My brother was 39 living with a fib when he collapsed with ventricular fibrillation. Kept on support for 4 days, declared dead on my birthday. He was taking coumadin and tambacor. I am not comfortable taking meds for the rest of my life with their risks. I am also concerned about the particular risk of treatment as a female.
