Inferior infarct/bradycardia

Posted By Chris on June 13, 1998 at 06:04:52:







Hello again, remember me?  I posted several days ago re: my 17 year old son who
had done cocaine.  His EKG's that I did showed inferior infarct, 2nd degree
SA block (mobitz I) and ventricular escape complexes.
He recently had a 24 hour holter done and this is what it says:
Predominant Rhythm:  SINUS RHYTHM, SINUS ARRHYTHMIA, WITH SEVERAL EPISODES OF JUNCTIONAL RHYTHM.
Unifocal ventricular ectopic activity:
1 couplet
232 single beats
Ventricular beats at the rate of 9.9/hr
Frequent ventricular escape beats
rare triegeminy noted
4 hrs 15 mins. of tachycardia
6 hrs 59 mins of bradycardia
fastest single episode of tachycardia at 12:21pm lasting 41 beats averaging 165bpm.
slowest single episode of bradycardia at 6:21am lasting 115 beats averaged 37bpm.
Supraventricular ectopic activity consisted of a PAC.  Supraventricular beats occurred at the rate of less than one SVE per hour.

He will be seeing a cardiologist but not until July 20th.  This cardiologist
did look at that EKG and confirmed that he did have inferior infarct.
Could you please comment on the holter report?  Do you suppose he's ok
to wait 5 weeks to see a cardiologist?  
Thank you so much!
