    • Close Arrhythmias
      Type: Tachycardia

      I am here because of my arrythmias....had them all my life but they only were caught on ekg's a few months ago and diagnosed....since then i have had four ablations and the last one they thought i would receive a pacemaker..they didnt need to put it in after all but froze that arrythmia unlike the cauterization type before..they informed me i have a multiple amount of them as of right now..ugh...frustrating, however they said the two they have ablated for sure seemed to be the dominant two
