Pls. if you can supply me with a Specialist from either Stanford, San Francisco for my future ablation. I was thinking why ablation already if I only have this SVT for 8 mos. and I have not try all the medicine yet. Should I try to talk to my>

r maybe my SVT is that bad. How long can you consider a patient to wait with SVT to go for ablation? By the way my Doctor have not seen where the electrical problem coming from my heart and I'm considering myself to go to EP though all of my test came out normal (ECG, Stress, Ultrasound, Holter) I was just concern from other patients that are suffering from SVT, some of them has it for more than 10 years before going to ablation and why me or maybe some other patient been having SVT for not even a year has to go to procedure (ablation) already. Thanks again.

Dear Ronald,
I would recommend Dr. Michael Lesh at UCSF. Have you had an EP study already?
