Thank you! Very helpful information. I think PSVT may be different from a-fib in regard to being progressive. At any rate, I've never heard that and I think my doctor would've mentioned it. But I will definitely ask. The description of the procedure is very helpful. So thank you especially for that.

@lynndee227 True, SVT is not considered to be progressive, but many arrhythmias are. The medical community tends to be conservative and will treat arrhythmias conservatively, which is reasonable. This usually means a trial of medications and lifestyle changes if they are sensible. If they work well, then great. If they don't, then ablations or pacemakers tend to come to the fore, and this is only if the patient complains of feeling unwell and not having a good quality of life (sensations, poor sleep, anxiety, etc).
