Just wondering if anyone has any idea what happened in this event (ECG) please. I used my Prince 180B. My Linq is dead and I'm currently waiting to for confirmation to have a Pacemaker + ? Defibrillator. My EF is 27% and I am plagued with either Ventricular Tachycardia or Atrial Tachycardia, lasting hours sometimes. Recently been in hospital (short stays) when Troponin up and then down again. This happened late on Friday afternoon and of course, there's never anyone to ask. I'd be most grateful for any input/advice. Thank you.

Thank you Jo. I have been doing as you suggest with 999, as my GP Practice told me to do that too. The paramedics are aware of this stance. Like you though Jo, I have developed an aversion to CCU. I was there only a few weeks ago and then again a week after. Just as for you, my Prince 108B is working fine as the other week, the Paramedic asked me to use it to check with their own reading and he said that albeit it wasn't 12 leads, it was working accurately. When the moment is gone, it's gone and now that the battery is dead (my Linq Recorder in my chest) I only have my machine to work with. Besides the evident arrhythmias, which is either Atrial or Ventricular Tachycardia, what is worrying me is the flat liners ... presumably still only 1st degree heart block. More and more though I am getting flat wavy liners and I don't know if it's the same thing. I do my utmost just as you do, but the heart is a funny thing and and the sensation we get in our chest or just that feeling is enough to tell you something is wrong. That was the reason for taking that recording. 3 minutes later .... it was a different story, so capturing the moment is difficult. Jo, I'm glad you are OK now and glad you have a Pacemaker and thank you so much for replying.
Hi Jo, I am glad that you got sorted and that all is well with you now. Fingers crossed it will stay that way. That must have been a frightening experience. I'm no further forward at my end - didn't expect it to be any other way. Take care and thanks for being kind enough to respond. Denise.
