Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through your query. I am not sure i have understood the whole thing properly.
I will spell out the problem as i understand first and take it from there.
You are suffering from supraventricular tachycardia with a failed ablation twice.
You also have a leak in the aortic valve, a pulmonary valve.
I need some more information like are you on medications for SVT(Supraventricular tachycardia), and how often do you get the tachycardia episodes.
What is the degree of leak in the aortic and pulmonary valve, is the mitral valve leaking?
If possible i would like you to send me a scanned copy of the ECG and a copy of the echo report.
Once i get this information i will be able to give you some answers.
Regards,
Dr. A. Gopi
