Cardiac failure: Catheter ablation does have some serious risks, but they are rare. But the risks may not be worth it for people who have few symptoms. Most PACs/SVT run a benign course however if you have frequent PACs/SVTs then the risk of continuing without ablation include developing AF and SVT. Fast uncontrolled SVTs could result in fainting spells, cardiac failure and sudden death. Speak with a Cardiologist

Ablation: The risks of untreated arrhythmia include your heart being unable to beat well enough to maintain your blood pressure , stroke, heart attack, heart failure, falls. The benefits of ablation far outweigh the relative risks. Stay calm and please reconsider ablation. You can do it and the cardiologists are great at it.
