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