Treatment for tachycardia due to pfo closure

Treatment for tachycardia due to pfo closure

I recently had a pfo closure ( two actually ) done and immediately after the second had tachycardia problems and was put on beta-blockers. I was told that the issue would probably resolve itself after the scar tissue surrounded the device in my heart. Have you ever heard of this resolving in this way?  Every thing I've read about on the internet for treatment points to meds or radiofrequency ablation. Your input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm sure you're looking for someone with "pfo closure" experience, I am not such a person. So, I ask, what is "pfo closure" (I'd guess closure of a hole between heart chambers)?

Whatever, healing of surgery in the heart takes time, have you given the healing process sufficient time?  Said another way, I believe it can "resolve" itself if you are still in the healing stage.

I see a duplicate post by you which has some additional information, namely:

"Hello. I've recently had a pfo closure ( two actually ). One in March ( 2010 ) and another in June. Immediately after the latest one I started having issues with my heart rhythm which would make my heart rate go up. "

I bring that information to this thread and will delete the duplicate.  I add the dates you give adds credibility to the thinking that you need to give your heart more time to heal.
