I have 4 leaky heart valves (2 minor and two moderate) so I get a Echo every 6 months to monitor those leaks. In 2019 my Cardiologist ordered a 24 hour Halter test because she saw something on my EKG. The Halter report indicated a significant number of extra beats and a significant number of supraventricular beats. Given the fact that I have leukemia and I'm on a low dose chemo regimen the surgeon and my Cardiologist decided to skip meds and go right to the ablation. The surgery went well. One electrical issue was superficial and one was deeper. I was awake for the entire procedure except when they blasted the problem areas. The only issue was when they pilled out the probes. They have to apply pressure on the arteries for a long time to make sure the arteries close. My Holter and Surgical reports are attached for your reading pleasure. The heart surgeons have perfected this surgery so I suspect you wont have any problems. Good luck.
