ABLATION QUESTION

I am 32 year old male that recently had ablation for AVNRT on May 19 that I was told was successful.  I have had some sinus tach and pvcs which i expected, but last night 6/7/06 I had a short svt episode that lasted about 5 seconds...stopped on its own very quickly. 

please someone tell me if this means my ablation did not work or if this is just part of the healing process... please post back or feel free to email me your thoughts or experiences at

Thanks and God Bless

Hi Gismatrix

I can't answer your question directly, but for what it's worth can tell you my own experience. After my first ablation I didn't have any tachycardia for 10 days, then I had a bout that ran on until it had to be stopped with Adenosine, at the A&E. So I was put back on meds. I hope you haven't had any more problems since you posted, I know how worrying it is. (Hope I haven't added to your stress!) Obviously, we all react very differently, your doctor ought to be able to give you proper info. Keep well.
