Boston Scientific IV/ICD lead problem - any experience to share please.
The device is fitted primarily as a secondary protection against a potentially fatal left
ventricular
tachycardia
. The primary protection is provided by bisoprolol.The atrial lead was set to pace at 60bpm to counter my natural low HR circa 40bpm resting from dropping to unsafe levels at night.

No diagnosis - still in hospital on my 34 th day!
That was back on January 27th.I bigged up my ILR as it later showed I had had a left
ventricular
tachycardia
lasting for 23 seconds. I asked questions about driving, implanted pacing devices, and got great support and feedback. It really helped through those early days. Well I'm still in.

Ablation for ventricular tachycardia
This time, I'd welcome your advice for my wife, who has patiently put up with my moans and groans, and herself went into
ventricular
tachycardia
a couple of weeks or so ago with a HR of 198 bpm.

Possible sinus problems.
Also treated for supra
ventricular
tachycardia
. At present I am struggling with what my GP thinks is a sinus infection masked by the steroids.

A big shout out for an ILR - implanted loop recorder ECG
My ILR device had picked up a text book
Ventricular
Tachycardia
event lasting 23 seconds. If I had not had this fitted I'm fairly sure in the context of health pressures I would have been discharged not to be seen again, as old man running, trips falls and knocks himself out.

Recovery from PFA was much easier than previous methods.. Still in normal sinus rhythm at the 6 month point., No wobbles but very occasional PVCs for a few seconds. Fitness better than before (nothing too taxing, walking, swimming & gentle pilates) consequently mentally in a much better place! Thanks

Where Is Data Stored for Wellue's ECG Traces?
I have had a Wellue ECG device for a few days -- the kind that can record heartbeats for up to 24 hours. When I review one of these recordings, I can immediately see the ECG tracings. The file with these tracings can be hundreds of screens long, one screen per minute of recording time. You can advance

Did your ectopics die out after your ablation?
So, shortening a long story, AFib from age 40, successful ablation (PVI + flutter + mitral line) at age 48, 15 good years then an aortic dissection at age 63, the long OHS surgery for which put me back in Fib. Sinus for 5-1/2 years on Amiodarone but it was slowly weakening me, plus bad ectos. After

Ablation or ammiodorone…
My last (3rd) ablation was 5 years ago, which went really well. Afib has been pretty much under control. I have only had one electrocardioversion about 1 1/2 years ago. About 3 1/2 years ago I developed an auto immune disease, Giant Cell Arteritis, then Covid pretty bad. It’s been rough but my heart

KardiaMobile ECG interpretation
I have had a KardiaMobile 2 lead device for about 4 years. In that time I have relied on the determination of Normal, Afib, Bradycardia, inconclusive and very occasionally PVCs along with my 30 second heartrate. However, I have not really paid much attention to the trace pattern. I have seen some somewhat

Premature Ventricular Contractions
Yesterday I started having PVC’s around 1:00 p.m. They continued throughout the remainder of the day and into the night. My Kardia Mobile device had been recording normal sinus rhythm with occasional PVC’s. This morning when I got up, my Kardia Mobile indicated normal sinus rhythm. No PVC’s. Should

I’m getting worse
Lately I’m having increased episodes of PVCs ? or PACs ? that often turn into hours of tachycardia—regular-looking rhythm but fast (Kardia), usually under 120 bpm. I’ve done all the intervention strategies and more often than not, they don’t make a bit of difference to get me back into normal rhythm

Sudden development of persistent PVCs
I am 66 and fit for my age but was recently diagnosed with gout. I live a healthy lifestyle so the gout is a suprise! I was put on Allopurinol and after 3 weeks on this drug woke experiencing PVCs (ectopic beats). They are frequent (averaging 3-4 per minute) and persistent now for 4 days. I feel very

Wellue ecg newbie - we finally have some data and now I am curious
Hi afibers, I know I've asked lots of odd questions this year after husbands health took a massive nosedive after a two lead ICD with pacing capability was implanted in February. With the help and reassurance of Ppiman and interesting chats with ozziebob - thank you both! we purchased a Wellue

Ectopics when bending down/changing position?
My ectopics stress me out but my burden is low on halter, all tests clear, only under investigation because they sometimes chaing together. However, the past two days I suddenly can't bend down or stand up from sitting without having a strong ectopic (I get both PVCs and PACs I don't know which is causing

What do you think caused this?
I’ll try to keep it short and simple I developed an eating disorder a few years ago, and I essentially started starving myself! I lost a fair bit of weight very quickly (24kgs/3.5 stone over 3 months or so) I suddenly started having tons of PVCs and PACs, they actually started gradually with singles

couple days of PVCs
I have AF 9 years controlled with Eliquis, metoprolol and Flecainide. For two days pVCs that almost take my breath away. Recent lexiscan normal. So annoying as I get them every couple of hours. They cause me anxiety which doesn’t help. anyone else? Little bit dizzy these past two days, too, now and

Help making sense of smart watch ecg
Hi, I have been using a Samsung galaxy watch to track symptoms alongside formal cardiac investigation. I got this ecg recording from my watch. The circled bits happened with what felt like extra/skipped beats. But they don't look like PACs or PVCs does anyone know what they are? For context, I have

Working and huge amounts of possible Premature Ventricular contractions
I need some advice. A couple of weeks ago after being in a huge amount of pain due to something else completely, my heart changed its rhythm. It does a couple of normal beats then a big thud, constantly . I managed 2 days at work before I ended up at A&E as I was weak, dizzy and had a tight chest. At
