Suggest Cure For A Hole In The Heart
I am going for an ablation of the atria {?}. I have a heart murmur and have recently been diagnosed with a significant hole in my heart. What is "significant"? I have rythym problems and a murmur. Guess
I still have Afib. can everything be healed with an ablation? Will I need a pacemaker? I feel very tired almost all of the time, can't do even short walks...My heart feels tired in the chest area. Sometimes the
slightest "scare" will cause my heart to tremble with fear.

you have murmur and significant hole ..significamt means large size and major disturbances it is causing in cardiac parameters...it need surgery ...now radiofrequency ablation is used to destroy the accessory conduction pathways ..it is used in drug resistant arrhythmia cases as atrial fobrillation as in your condition...
