What should I do if my chest and heart swell after radiofrequency ablation?

Patient's question:

I had a radiofrequency ablation last month. However, after the surgery, I feel pain and swelling in my heart and chest, and I also have a fever every afternoon. My throat also hurts. Are these symptoms normal? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is necessary to consider how to deal with conditions such as coronary heart disease or endocarditis, and to actively pay attention to implementing relevant examinations. For this fever, it is necessary to actively carry out blood culture tests, while echocardiography should be used to examine the structure and function of the heart, and an electrocardiogram should be used to clarify the effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation treatment. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to go to formal tertiary hospitals as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations according to their own condition, so that they can be treated symptomatically and recover quickly.
