I am new here. Need advice as to what things mean.

Hi all, as you can see I am new here so please bear with me. I have been having problems with my heart for the last two years. Was told it was SVT for a year than told it was AF. Now just found out via a letter that I have Paroxysmal atrial arrhythmia, probably pulmonary vein tachycardia driving atrial fibrillation. This is all gobbledygook to me and I can't seem to find any information on it. In this letter, it suggests that I have an Ablation for this which I think carries some risk. As I am unsure of what I have and what risk the operation my have I am at a loss. Any help in any way would be most welcome.

So, did you find out what that acronym meant?
