A member asked:
I am to undergo an ablation procedure 8/13 & just received notice of "technical denial." will i now die from not having ablation for my longterm svt?

No: You will not die from SVT. There are other forms of treatment of SVT, including avoidance of stimulants (caffeine, decongestants, etc) and medicines to brake it or prevent them. Occasionally pts need D/C cardioversions (shocks) and as last resort: ablations.

No!: No you will not die. For decades SVT was successfully treated medically before ablation techniques were developed.
