Does being in sinus rhythm before ablation lead to better outcome?

I would rather have my heart in arrhythmia during ablation, allowing the EP to see the area of the heart responsible for the problem. When in sinus rhythm , it is not possible. At least that was the case for my NSVT. Even with aggressive trying to convert to VT, the attempt failed.

@wcuro All of our hearts are so different, except for that one thing we all have in common: arrhythmia. I went into my SVT ablation in NSR and my EP was able to easily induce SVT, leading to a successful ablation. When he was finished, he was no longer able to induce SVT even with aggressive challenge. Such a life-changing result for me! Best of luck with your situation.

Same experience. Ablation attempted during NSR, couldn't get rate to SVT, failed ablation. Came out in A fib, treated for a few months, now out of a fib, but having pSVT. Not convinced at this time to attempt another ablation.
