Ablation procedure - arhythmic heat beat
Hello all,
I am suffering from ventricular ectopic beats - in fact between 5% and 12% daily. I tried everything from cutting out caffeine to reducing stress factors. Nothing seemed to really helped me though. I am totally asymptomatic and have done four 24 hour holters, stress ECG and a 2D of my heart. Cardiologists say I am fine and aren't too concerned. The AMEs I consulted don't see a big problem neither BUT recommended to do an ablation procedure in order to eliminate the abnormal electrical pathway in my heart that fires off these missed beats since too many ectopic beats might cause some more serious problems in the long term. I went to heart specialists in my city and, after a long pre-operation discussion, they agreed to conduct the ablation procedures. Success rates are very high and risks are relatively low they said. I am scheduled for the procedure in two weeks.
I read about people having conducted such a procedure in this forum but only because of some more serious problems such as atrial fluttering etc. Is here anybody who had an ablation therapy done because of an arhythmic heart beat like me? If yes, were you able to retain / obtain your class 1 medical?
Best regards
