What to expect after SVT ablation
Good Morning! I am new here but I underwent a cardiac ablation for an SVT on this past Friday the 27th. To give you some background, I was born with Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries. In other words my lower heart chamber is completely reversed. I also have situs inversus, a

Spirometry result interpretations
Hi everyone, I just wondered if anyone can offer advice on my sisters Spirometry results. I’ve tried to look on the internet but it always takes you to medical sites so gets too complicated. We’re trying to build her case for an ESA appeal as well as arm myself with as much information as I can as

Understanding my Lung Function Test??
Hi. I was diagnosed in June 16 with DIP & emphysema. I have had regular lung function tests. Although I've looked online to try to understand the figures, I am still confused & don't really know what state my lungs are in. I know there's a problem with oxygen saturation. Can anyone help me with my recent

supraventricular ectopics
My ectopics are, the cardio says, supraventricular, but I don't see anyone posting about this type - is it the same as PAC or
PVC
? or something different? He saw on my Reveal monitor evidence of them, and said they were infrequent - but I'm feeling loads of them, certainly not infrequently.

New Regimen of Sotalol
Could anyone please advise of what my EP's strategy may be. I must explain that I have a history of ventricular tachycardia and Ido have an AICD implanted which has discharged multiple time. Yes I have been extremely lucky so far. I recently changed to a new EP who immediately placed a 24 hr. Holter

I am 58, having

PVC
or something else.
