Hi Everyone, I would just like to update you all. I had the procedure in February 2011 and in April 2011 the ectopics/pvc's returned. So unfortunately it was unsuccessful. In April, we decided to get pregnant again instead of going on medication and so I am currently nearly 5 months pregnant! I had one episode where I blacked out a couple of weeks ago but the baby is fine and i'm fine now too. They put me on an episode monitor, where you press the button when something happens.

Thank you so much! I am a fourteen year old girl living in America and I am going through EP Ablation in a few months. I have had irregular hearbeets for about a year and a half, and my doctor said I should go through with that. They are medicating the symptoms untill the procedure is done. I have one question: how long did you stay at the hospital after the procedure? They are going to knock me out compleatly, and I think they are going to go through my chest....thanks!! love your accent btw.

Hi everyone, Just had an EP study two days ago. Just want to say it was really no big deal at all . I was partly sedated so awake. I didn't feel them cut me around the groin area and insert the wires , lol I didn't even realise the wires were in my heart lol until I saw the screen and had to ask ! They couldn't find any mild arrhythmia's which is causing my AF. I will have to have an ablation on the plumoiry veins I think in another few months.

36 yrs old from Cincinnati Ohio. Im having an EP Study scheduled in a couple of days. They might insert a pacemaker or do an ablation. This was very helpful. Thanks for posting this.

Getting a catheter ablation on Thursday for SVT. I also live in Dublin so very reassuring to see a video from a fellow Irish woman! I've had very similar experiences to you which has led me to decide to go ahead with the procedure. Thanks so much for uploading, eased the nerves a bit

I have to undergo an ablation tomorrow. I'm very nervous but I don't want to show that to my parents because my mom is very nervous too. I'm accually calming her down the past few days, haha.This video calmed me down a bit too, though.

Elaine thanks for posting this, i have had tons of surgeries, over the years but after dealing with my irregular heartbeat and infertility n various other issues all at once and then losing my teaching job bc i was blacking out while teaching, they are finally doing this on monday, i know halloween, a little scary, but this is my 1st heart test besides a tilt table test, which was pretty scary, but i feel better now please update us as u can!

Hi! Do you happen to know which system was used for the EP study? Was in CARTO(R) 3 or NavX?

[andiceni24]

...little when they allowed me to walk on it. But i was actually allowed to fly on a plane the day after the procedure!!! Im from New Mexico, USA, and had the procedure done at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital of Stanford in California. i was experiencing irregular heart beats since birth, then they would dissapear for years, then when i was 14 they slapped me in the face and it was hard to keep up in sports and class. so at age 19, the procedure was considered successful :) GOOD LUCK!

@RUGoat hello, ive gone through 2 ep studies, 2nd one ended up in a diagnosis/ablation for AVNRT. dont be scared, its actually areally neat procedure. ask if there's a posibility to be under conscious sedation (meaning youll be awake the whole time) because i am terrified of going under completely, and they will explain what they're doing the whole way through. most likely you'll have to stay 6 hours after the procedure in the hospital, i stayed 8 because my femoral artery was still bleeding a

@elainehearty1 Yeah! It was compleatly sucsessful!! hank you!! I'm sorry to hear that yours wasn't, but congrats on the baby! I hpe everything turns out alright for you and your family!
