Hi Melanie

I appreciate that you have probably had your ablation by now, but
wanted to let you know that you are not alone; I have had a number of
arrhythmias ablated, all of which were types of SVT.

When an ablation is successful (and these days the success rates are
really excellent, >99% for AVNRT in many centres, AVNRT is the most
common type of SVT), it can truly change your life. When I had my
first Atrial Tachycardia ablated it was amazing, I had had a
constantly high heart rate for years and after the ablation it had
gone down to a normal rate, what a difference!

I have had so many tests, EP Studies, Ablations etc, now I have a
pacemaker and life is a great deal better for me. I'm waiting to have
another EP Study at the moment, so I know how you feel.

take care,
Fran
