V-TACH

[Zacky19]

Hi,

I had a 24 hour tape after an ablation over 12 months ago, the tape showed small runs of A-Tach, I've had an Echo stress scan/ stress MRI and bloods and all look fine with no obvious reason for A-Tach, I've now been proscribed Bisoprolol, does anyone out there have a similar situation ? And advice ?

I have had Paroxysmal Atrial Tachyardia ever since my last ablation in 2008, each event requiring DCCV to correct. I am on the waiting list for ablation to stop the occasional A tach.

How often do you get it Bob? I ask because I had an episode 2 months after my ablation. My EP says will need another ablation to correct. I am getting 2nd opinion next week. I had DCCV as well about a month ago been ok since then. I am just 3 months post ablation on July 3rd. Hoping it's part of healing process.

Depends a lot but five times since 2008 usually after excess eating (Christmas?) and self correcting ultra short (less than a minute) bursts most days now.

[perkman in reply to BobD]

You stated above you needed DCCV each time. So you're saying it is self correcting now after short bursts?

[BobD Volunteer in reply to perkman]

Since they are so short I have not been able to catch them on Kardia so may not be A tach which did need DCCV.

I had 2 bouts of rapid heart rate after my cardioversion during exercise but like you they were short and gone by time I got Kardia read out.

Thank You
