Any tips for meeting with EP about SVT ablation?????

[Timsywhimsy]

Hi all,

I’ve found many of your words interesting, helpful and encouraging, so now I thought I’d share my story and ask for some more insight. I was diagnosed with SVT about six weeks ago. Called an ambulance and they caught it on ekg. I was fitted with a zio and had another SVT (requiring ambulance) less than 3 weeks later. I’m a 42 year old stay at home mom (to two boys, 5 and 2). The anxiety and disruption this has caused is crippling. I’ve been afraid to be left alone with my boys since it all started. Anyway, because of all this, I’m seeing an EP about ablation this Monday. I’m trying to compile questions and would certainly appreciate any and all comments/feedback. What do you wish you’d have known or thought to have asked, etc? Additionally, how do I find out if he’s ‘good?’ I mean I have done some research, but what questions should I ask him that will reveal his track record, so to speak? I should mention that I largely chose him because he uses the new 3D mapping instead of fluoroscopy. Not being exposed to radiation is appealing, especially as I understand this procedure could have to be done several times. Thanks so much!
