Usually the ablation stops the unwanted arrhythmia, but flutter is one example that can be 'substituted' when an ablation is performed for AF (atrial fibrillation). Also, you can get PACs resulting from an ablation, and yes, SVT as well. It is usually the fault of insufficient mapping in my opinion, although the electrophysiologist who performed your procedure might disagree with me, maybe even for very good reasons.

Over on afibbers.org, we stress constantly that one must do research to find the very best, most experienced, and most skilled EP in one's area, even if one must travel for up to a day. Just as there are mediocre teachers and piano players, there are mediocre EPs.

I wonder if it would help you to have a blood glucose meter to see if you are indeed having hypoglycemia. And a device to monitor heart such as a smartwatch or Kardia. I use the Kardia myself. It costs about $99. Then you can bring info or even send info to the doctor.

Thanks for the reply. I’m concerned that happened. An SVT ablation with no. history of AFIB or PAC’s should have been a resolution not the beginning of new things. Because it was a rush procedure I got the new guy whose calendar was open. I’m seeing someone new in 10 days. I have an associate who knows some folks at Cleveland Clinic. Might go there if I am not getting answers. Thanks again
