I am a 35 year old male suffering from PVC's. I am in good shape, run 30-40 miles a week, with no health issues. I was first diagnosed with PVC's 6 months ago. After several ECG's, stress echocardiogram and multiple visits I was told my heart was in great shape. Holter monitor revealed approx. 20,000 pvc's per day. I would regularly experience, tightness of the chest, become lightheaded and over all feel pretty terrible. My EP recommended cath ablation said he could "cure" me. So I consented. The ablation went well and post op NO PVC's. I continued to be symptom free for approx 2 weeks, when they slowly started up again. Just a few here and there for the 3rd week then progressively more as the weeks passed. After 5 weeks post ablation I was instructed by the EP's office to wear a holter monitor, which showed approx 4500 PVC's and 500 PAC's. I have not had my recheck with the Doc yet, but needless to say I am very disappointed. I am curious if there is anyone else out there with a similar situation. Is it normal to have PVC's reoccur (inflammation of the heart) or is this just a botched procedure (morphology showed PVC's are coming from the same origin RVOT). Thanks
