18 yr old daughters holter results show 275 ectopics

hmmm so now we know theres a gentic component--sigh--daughter 18 now refered to cardiologist--lots of ectopics on 24 holter,,due to a sudden cardiac death in the family before age 45 we all have to have this specific heart mapping test done to see where the misfire is originateing--cardio says likely the ectopics there since birth will worsen with age but not serious  but needs to rule out some stuff,,thinking my 17 yr old son needs this test also--i have stress test and heart mapping on 22nd--
i am wondering if these arrythmias are the cause of my daughters frequent faints/near faints she first fainted age 6....anyone else have kids/family with this stuff??

Could be ANS, could be heart.  There are tests for these conditions.  She should get a tilt table test to be sure this isn't dysautonomia.
