I had a convergent ablation on January 31, 2014. It cured my atrial fibrillation. I have had high blood pressure for years and had taken lisonopril. I was taken off lisonopril and put on sotalol and everything was fine. Then I was taken off sotalol and started taking lisonopril again. My blood pressure and pulse (80+bpd) was higher. I read that recent studies indicate that the higher the pulse rate the greater risk of death. The old 60/100 bpm may be misleading especially over 80. I am going back to sotalol.
