Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that in my opinion you can ask your Cardiologist if he would like to put you on Tab Cordarone ( anti arrhythmic medication) , then try this for for few month. If frequency of PVCs decreases the. continue with Cordarone otherwise go for an Ablation .
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
