Had a call from cardiology office to quickly schedule tachycardia ablation. I’ve already had 2 afib ablations w previous cardiologist, which seemed to have worked. Never could get that dr to address the remaining tachycardia. Switched to a new dr and so wish I’d found him to begin with 6 years ago. Amazing difference in attitude and approach to everything.
Anyways, have had to cancel this one several times now, once because I needed a more urgent surgery last fall. Then again in March as Covid roared into New York State. Now w a bit of a Covid quiet time in NY state, our hospitals can now do elective procedures again and they feel it’s safe. For the moment. Feeling is that by fall we’ll be back in high Covid caseloads again. Not keen on spending our short summer months recuperating, but will be happy to get this one over with finally. Wish me luck!

Sincere Best Wishes! I'm on the list for a tacticath in a few months so I'm interested in how it goes for you. (My main problem is tachycardia too.) Do you know which procedure your EP is using? Keep us posted. Stay well in the meantime!
Hi marcyh - other than it being a radio-frequency ablation, I don’t know any other tech details. I have heard that this hospital’s ablation facility has been able to keep up with the latest tech updates, so maybe it is the TactiCath equipment you mentioned. Best of luck to you too! Hope you get to the top of the list soon! I’m waiting for a callback w the scheduler, sounded like they wanted to do it in July, with luck our region will still be in a Covid lull then. Crazy times.
