Had Natale ablation 3 years ago immediately after starting experiencing PVC 6% total beats. PVC beats calmed to less than 1% for few months after. PVC have now increased to 20+% over last 2 years years. Was put and met/flec and that seemed to calm things down, until now. Meds are not working anymore now next option is Ablation. How does a PVC ablation work, similar to afibb? I've read you must be having PVC at the time of the ablation? Is Natale a wizard at fixing PVC as well?? Any insight to help the process is greatly appreciated!! https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,191660,191660#msg-191660 Sun, 25 Oct 2026 18:01:48 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,191660,191698#msg-191698 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,191660,191698#msg-191698 susan.d AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 25 Jul 2023 05:48:07 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,191660,191696#msg-191696 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,191660,191696#msg-191696 Kleinkp AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 25 Jul 2023 01:47:31 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,191660,191664#msg-191664 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,191660,191664#msg-191664
However during that month I visited my local EP. He ordered a Holter monitor and suggested I try an experiment that he said has been successful in some of his other patients. I was on Multaq and he suggested I start off with a small 12.5mg dose a day of Atenolol and see him in a week. It didn’t work so by the 7th day it was increased to 25mg a day. Nothing. The third week it was increased to 25mg mornings and 12.5mg evenings. On the third day my PVCs stopped cold turkey — 4 days before the previously scheduled PVC ablation date that I had postponed for this drug experiment.

Same story after my second ablation. Atenolol stopped the PVCs cold turkey.]]> susan.d AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 22 Jul 2023 20:18:32 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,191660,191662#msg-191662 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,191660,191662#msg-191662 They can last for hours, but less so since I've decided to eat less calcium.
I've still PVCs from time to time, they're annoying, but never lead to AFib for me.
I don't know whether they can be ablated or not, but my understanding is one has to enter the ventricles via mitral or tricuspid valves. Makes me nervous!]]> Pompon AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 22 Jul 2023 14:07:06 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,191660,191660#msg-191660 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,191660,191660#msg-191660
