Unsustained episode of v-tach (seconds) on stress test - type 1 diabetic
by mmalo, Apr 17, 2007 12:00AM
Hello, 4 years ago I had a stress test(for palps), and experienced a small run of vtach (I was fine and did not feel a thing). After the test I checked my glucose and it was 2.1.
Since then, I have had echos, stress tests, angio, holters,loop monitors (just to make sure). And everything is normal.
My question is, could the low blood sugar cause this? I hate obsessing over it.
I have had consultations with three cardiologists re the pvs and they basically say "ignore them"
THank you very much. MaryANn

mmalo,
thanks for the post.
Hypoglycemia can be associated with electrolye shifts. This in theroy could possibly be associated with cardiac arrythmia. Since the episode was isolated and it sounds like the rest of your workup negative, I would focus more on reducing your future event risk than obsessing over the past.
good luck
