anyone anxious about ablation?

Hi everyone,

Not a question, but some info I wanted to share and thought I should post it.

I have an upcoming ablation and in researching, came across this great informative video of an  SVT ablation performed at Brigham & Womens Hospital . It has lots of info also on other types of ablations also. If you still have any questions on what to expect, you won't after watching it! I had been wondering about how they make sure they get the "right spot", the mapping process is very interesting. I'm less "fearful" of something if I know what to generally expect. It's 76 min.long.

here's one more specific to atrial flutter: http://www.or-live.com/mercyHospital/1790/event_flash_archive/rnh.cfm?
They both have incoming questions at the same time, so lots of concerns addressed.

Hope this helps someone else too!

If anyone out there is thinking of an ablation and is scared and unsure what to do, please feel free to contact me.  I had an ablation done in Aug, for AVNRT and have been SVT free since.  It was the best thing I could have done for myself. I'd be happy to answer any questions or concerns you might have .

I'm surprised the executive types allowed the link but I'm glad. I haven't seen the video but it sounds like it would be a great help.
