    • Have frequent episodes that come and go or have been recently
             diagnosed with continuous episodes of AF despite medication or
             cardioversion, or you do not wish to continue medication.
    • Have significant symptoms from AF such as discomforting
             palpitations, tiredness or difficulty breathing, or signs of heart
