Tracings for Review.
by Robert-A-Muler, Dec 26, 1998 12:00AM
Dear Doctor:
I have posted here previously regarding various cardiac symptoms and test
results.
My last posting was on 12-18-1998.
Subject: CK-MB up, Inverted T, V1-V6,T2,T3, Chest pressure, normal stress
test???.
Things have not changed but continue to worsen.
I have elected to see a specialist in Boston as I am know having more
runs of sinus tach up to 160 resting and brief bursts of some form of tach
that we are trying to catch on an event recorder.
Below is one of my web sites that show the 3 EKG's that concern me.
I still find it hard to believe such a serial change in precordial
T Wave vector is possible with out some undesireable underlying myocardial
process going on.
My limited studies regarding cellular repolarization has rienforced my
concern that a possible change in myocardium could be occuring that may
not be due to ischemia but some underlying metabolic disorder.
All standard testing for electrolytes etc. are normal.
If you like you can view the tracings at the following address.

I would be currious to hear your comments.
Please feel free to senr an e-mail if you so desire.
Thanks again for you previous response, I do feel more confident in my
descision to go to a Harvard affiliated hospital in Boston.
Regards:
Robert Muller

Your concerns are understandable. Your ecgs and such will be reviewed by your cardiologists. This is an information forum intended to give information regarding cardiac diagnosis and is not in any way intended for evaluation, treatment, and or 'opinions' on care.
I hope this information is useful. Information provided in the heart forum is for
