I had cardiacCardiac catheterization Cardiac tamponade Left heart ventricular angiography ablation in March, but the onset of afib came right after I had a root canal!!! I did not have any symptoms until November 08 last year, I had the root canal in August 08. The in Jan 09 all heck broke loose and I was hospitalizesd 3 times with tachycardiaArrhythmias Multifocal atrial tachycardia Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (psvt) Sick sinus syndrome Ventricular tachycardia and brady-tachy syndrome. My hr would accelerate to 225. I firmly believe that these two conditions are connected. I do not know if it is the epinephrine, I rather think that the nerves that are involved in your mouth have some electrical connection to what happens with your heart rhythm. I am going to do more investigation into this. Oral health can have a huge impact on the rest of your health I have learned. Just wanted to confirm that I too had this correlation.
