I just came from my 2nd opinion from an EP at our local univeristy. First I went in with an intern EP, he took an hour of signs, symptoms & history - extremely fatiguing lol
I asked WHAT is causing this? The EP in the practice, she said they couldn't pinpoint what caused it, but it's the electrical part of my heart mis-firiing for whatever reason. She also said until they do the EP study and go inside she can't answer it and even then it may not give any answers :(
As I suspected, the mild tricuspid is something I'm going to have to watch as well as the thickening of the left ventrical (?) my EF was good they said at 55% which is another good sign.
This particular doctor 2 weeks ago cured a female with 39,000 pvc's!! hooray but she said I still take the cake LOL if they cure mine, my name will go into the cardio dept of the university heheh that would be wild.
She prescribed Toprol and is setting up a cardiac cath & EP Study for next week. Hopefully that will yield some questions & help.
Have a great weekend.

Oh I forgot to add - I don't take any meds - just found out a few weeks ago that I had anything wrong with my heart even though it's shown up for years on my ekg's
I'll see what the ep says tomorrow about after ablation if I had to take meds

Thanks again :) I have a full page of questions I've been making to take with me tomorrow.
I got my test results in the mail today, so I want to go over those with the new EP to see what she says. My cardiologist & EP now said there was a "tad" of mvp which I see, but I also see some things they didn't tell me :(
Echocardiogram results:
Mild Tricuspid insufficency
Trace Mitral valve in sufficency
Pulmonic valve was not well visualized due to a technically difficult 2D echo
Mild Concentric left ventricular hypertropy
EF rate of 55%
Dilated left atrium with normal left atrial pressures
24 hr holter results:
54,181 very frequent complex ventricular ectopys with bigeminy & trigeminy
2 runs of NSVT, 2 couplets, 3 triplets, 2 atrial contractions
Rare atrial ectopy
Stress test: 4:55 min test
Sinus rhythm with slow R wave progression in the precordial leads
Frequent pvc's - 2 PVC couplets and 1 PVC triplet
Sinus Tachycardia with no signifiant ST-T wave changes
QRS segment of PVC's narrowed substantially with exercise, widening again in recovery (180 ms to 80 ms)
BP - 130/70 - 150/90

Lisa,

Be sure to take a list with you tomorrow. You do not want to forget to ask anything. Some doctors really like it when we come prepared : )
Are you taking a beta blocker, anti-arrythmic?
