Post ablation holter monitor results

[Karendeena]

Hi everyone, just had a letter following a 24 hour holter monitor I had on the 10th of August, this was 4 months post PVI ablation. I would be grateful for anyone's opinion as I am a bit of a worrier and the tachycardia bit bothered me. How can your heart go fast for 3 seconds and be recorded. Here is the content:-

"This showed sinus rhythm with occasional atrial premature beats and only 3 runs of very short atrial tachycardia which were less than 3 seconds. There was no significant sustained arrythmia which is extremely reassuring following her recent successful AF ablation procedure".

It is the electrical impulses being picked up. Not uncommon and not bad news either I would say. Please stop worrying .

Always appreciate you replies Bob, thank you ❤️I don't think I could go through another ablation unless they knocked me out, 🤞 it doesn't come to that, must learn to forget about it (my EP told me that when I went for my review back in July) and be more positive 😊

Agree on that

[wilsond]

Really. 3 seconds of tachycardia is nothing to worry about. All looks good. Get on with life+ all the very best.

Thanks ❤️

Notmal results post ablation. Very short runs of atrial tachycardia have no clinical significance, nor do the PACs. I would be happy with this report even if I never had afib. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks Jim ❤️

Sounds like the results are showing a positive outcome after your recent ablation procedure. The sinus rhythm with only occasional atrial premature beats and very brief episodes of atrial tachycardia is reassuring. These findings suggest that the procedure has helped control the atrial fibrillation, and the lack of sustained arrhythmia is a good sign.

That's a great report!

HiI'm a NHS Cardiac Physiologist with AF! The Holter picks up everything it was doing it's job.

Example if it was a Pacemaker it would pick it up as low as 0.01 sec. It sounds like a short extra Atrial run which you have probably had forever. You had a good team picking it up and reporting it.

It's nothing to worry about.

That all sounds rather excellent. My heart does all kinds of things for three seconds! I wouldn't worry at all about that. Your ablation seems to have been a great success. It can take several months, it seems, for the ablation to settle fully.

I'd love to get that report. Celebrate the win !

I would be very happy with that result post ablation. Keep resting and most of all living. 😀
