PVC

Hi there, I have frequent PVCs has anyone had an ablation for this procedure with good results

Thanks

  1. Hi. I see you are new to our heart failure community, having just joined yesterday. Glad to see that you are already here in the forums with this, your first post. And what you ask is a great question. While I am hopeful others in the community will see your inquiry and respond by sharing their own personal anecdotal experiences, I have something to contribute as well. For many of the people I have talked to, ablation has proven very effective in reducing or even eliminating PVCs. In fact, I think studies show that it is up to 80% effective. However, it's also important to understand that outcomes can vary based on factors such as the specific characteristics of the PVCs and your personal responses to treatment. If you are interested, we also have an article on the topic of ablations that you may find helpful. If you are interested, I will post it here (https://heart-failure.net/clinical/afib-ablation). What do you think? John. community moderator.

    1. I found a couple of articles that go more in depth with ablations https://heart-failure.net/clinical/cardiac-ablation.I also found an interview done by one of our community moderators that you may find helpful https://heart-failure.net/living/interview-with-avnrt-patient. Wishing you all the best in your journey! -Olivia
