Its called SVT. So in the procedure they make the arrythmia happen, see where the 2nd pathway is, and burn it. The risk, which is typically less than 1% is they burn both pathways, and then you would need a pacemaker. My 2 pathways are close together so my risk while still low is a little higher than 1%. So last time he was very conservative in how much he burned, this time he's going to be a little more aggressive. Hopefully things are still pretty good in CT as far as Corona by then. Gonna need a covid test a few days before and gonna have to see what the visitor limitiations and protocols are by then because they are always changing.

Good luck. I've had SVT for 17 years now (usually have 2-10 "episodes" per year depending on stress, sleep, physical activities). Fortunately for me, they rarely last more than 10 minutes (I've only had to go to the hospital 3x to get my heart rate under control), but it's not a lot of fun. Hope everything turns out well.
