How to choose the best hospital and the best cardiac electrophysiologist in nyc for cardiac ablation is the procedure ever life threatening? i do get svt 4-5 times a year and have to go to the hospital for an adenosine shot. is this procedure life threat

From : From your description it does not sound that the condition is life threatening. However there are many different factors that go into evaluating the risk in a particular patient and you should be under the care of an electrophysiologist. Most major medical centers in ny area have very competent electrophysiology divisions. There are new definite treatments that can eliminate the recurrence of arrhythmia in many patients.

Hard.. and no.: Svt is never fatal (with ultra-rare exceptions you almost certainly don't have) and is treated for symptoms. You're wise to look for someone good, but it isn't always easy to find the top folks. I can give you some names, but i won't do it in broad forum; to do so would be an insult to the many other excellent eps also in the area. Nyc is awash in excellent ep and you have several options.
