Hello @corjianne

I appreciate the details about your symptoms and problems with the traditional pacemaker technique. This does sound complicated and your symptoms do sound like they warrant some additional help. You have not mentioned your age nor how long you have had this heart issue. As you are comfortable sharing more about yourself, please do so.

Have you asked the electrophysiologist (who spoke of the 70% success rate) how many of these procedures he has done and/or where he trained for this procedure? Knowing a little about his experience and training might give you more ease as you consider this. Also, are there any hospitals in your vicinity that are considered major heart centers where you might find expertise on this problem? Personally, I would be willing to travel a bit in order to be able to have this done at a major heart center. However, this represents my own personal opinion and I cannot speak for you.

I would like to invite another mentor into this conversation, Martin, @predictable. He has dealt with a lot of heart problems and may be able to shed some light on this. Also, Connect's moderator, Kanaaz, @kanaazpereira, might be able to offer some more ideas and information as well.
