The Hypermobility Syndrome Association :: View topic - cardio ablation
An old Draft I found, thought I'd publish it
The Hypermobility Syndrome Association :: View topic - Cardio Ablation: "I am on a waiting list to get a cardio ablation because of my palpitations, arhythmias and svt's.
Palpitations are when you can feel your heart beat but at unexpected times (you would expect to feel it after excersising but not while resting)
Arhythmias are often descibed as 'whomps' and 'flutters' I would say that the whomps kinda feel like your heart has just hiccuped, and the flutters are in usually situated above the heart in the middle, slightly below that collar bones.
SVT's is when your heart beats extremely fast and hard, (mine usually averages at 216bpm)
The believed cause of this is that because of the HMS, I have an area with extra heart muscle fibres which confuses the pacemaker of the heart causing all of the above problems.
The surgery involves going into the heart via an angioplasty thing (through a vein in the groin up to the heart) finding the extra fibres and using a laser, removing them. I am told this is pretty much an instant fix.
Has anyone else been through the procedure?"
