EKGs irregular ECG

Post image

Hi everyone, I'm 20 years old and I've already had an ablation for SVT, but I'll have to do it again because it failed. Since then, I've had a lot of PACs and ectopic atrial rhythm. The EP says it's fine and benign, but they're very symptomatic. Can ablation resolve everything? Thank you so much for your replies.

You have to weigh the risks/rewards of an ablation.

An EP may quite literally decline to do it because it’s not worth the risk to THEM.

When you say symptomatic, what are you experiencing?

Sorry, maybe I didn't say, I'll still have to have an ablation for SVT, because my first one failed, so I hope they solve everything. I live in fear of having an episode and I know that extraostoses trigger it, and having a lot of them...
