Treatment for Premature Ventricular Contractions

Ablation for Premature Ventricular Contractions involves targeted catheter-based delivery of energy (e.g., radiofrequency or cryotherapy) to selectively destroy arrhythmogenic myocardial tissue, disrupting aberrant electrical pathways. This intervention eliminates or modifies ectopic foci responsible for PVCs, thereby reducing their frequency and suppressing ventricular arrhythmias without systemic pharmacological effects.

I feel great, having a single pvc once in awhile which really is the norm since everyone gets them. I haven’t had them back to back. I have felt like they were coming on but they won’t, not sure if it’s just the suppression from the ablation. I saw m...View more
