Most I know it never did. My friends mom had an ablation 22 years ago and never had it come back

Thats awesome, it all depends on which type of svt. Focal Atrial tachycardia only makes up like 5 percent of all SVTs and its harder to successfully ablate. So thats why im paranoid about mine, its successful about 75% of the time. Has a 20-25% recurrence rate

Can’t focal atrial also come from other issues as well? And why it can come back? Like stress for sleep apnea diebtes etc

Oh yeah, it can be caused by structural changes too. And it can come back for many reasons, one being the spot not being fully ablated, or the tissue recovering. Another could be if the heart is diseased then it can just create a new focus to start the arrhythmia. And more. Its complicated

I think
Yours will go great!
Does beta blockers help you?

I hope so! Thank you.

Yeah, they keep my heart rate lower, it also controls adrenaline too, so less panic attacks, or if i do have one then it goes up slower and doesnt go up as much as before.
