Information for ventricular tachycardia ablation
Heart Rhythm Conditions | Last Active: Mar 25 11:10am | Replies (9)Comment receiving replies
She has a qtr prolongation. It's hard to explain. She was born with it. I'm worried she will have to have more then one ablation. As far as the medication for heartburn. I'm worried. She is allergic to sulfates. So what can she do for heartburn. I know most of my questions are probably for the doctor, but want to be prepared. So the pain ,will it be for a Day or days? Just worried. She is only 24. Her life has been so tough. She has a defibrillator at the age of 15. I kinda understand the process so thank you. Just wondering about recovery. We are not close to home. So staying at an air nb. Are there restrictions after procedure?

As I mentioned above I never had any heart burn. Different part of the heart. The pain was only at the incision site. As for recovery most times I was overnight in the hospital.
Only restrictions was no shower the first night after the procedure but after 24 hours if there is no oozing from the site the dressing will come off.
Thats a good plan to stay near the Hospital but it should only be at most 2 days.
I actually had a Pacemaker with difibulator also. I'm sure that technology has improved quite a bit. With the 2 I had over my 10-year period (battery replacement) the second one had more capability than the first. With the right EP doctor there is a lot that can be done with it also.
