Ticker tachy - and proposed pace and ablate

I've had 3 catheter ablations - the first was for AFib and high heart rate and the last 2 for tachycardia - the first of which worked (more or less) for 3 years. My consultant is now advising a pace and ablate, as no medication so far has worked to reduce rate. This seems bit drastic - but I can't find any other solutions. Most of the posts I have seen here relate to Afib, Any experiences with pace and ablate, solely for tachycardia....?-

I’m not sure I can truly empathize but I have heard of cases where people have had 5 ablation. Have you had a second opinion?

Several people on here have talked about Pace and Ablate, but as yours is for Tachycardia rather than AF you might find the Arrhythmia Alliance site of HealthUnlocked helpful.

Not what you're looking for?
