I have Junctional Tachycardia.  The doctors told me that it's not life threatening, but it will effect my quality of life.  It's extremely rare and difficult to treat.  Ablation did not/will not work for mine because it's on the AV node.  They will try medications, but even those may not work 100%.  My EP said that the Atrial and Ventricle chambers pump simultaneously during an episode.  I don't know if that's standard with JT or if it was how mine was...I think it's standard though.  I don't really have much information other than that.

Perhaps the two of you can share whatever you learn.

Hope your doctors are able to provide whatever you need to effect a cure.
