I've been reading about LQTS and prolonged qt's - one of the things that keep popping up is the prolonged QT and syncope. I've suffered syncope since age 9 and never had a dr say anything was wrong until June 2009.
What causes low voltage QRS that no one can explain - it's been on 10 out of 11 of my ekg's that I have - even after ablation and pacemaker/icd implanted.
My other testing shows Cardiomegaly of the heart; vascular crowding; CLVH; Mild MVP & TR; frequent multifocal pvc's (over 50,000 daily before my EPS - returned a few months after); EP Study revealed Polymorphic VT; MRI revealed decreased cardiac mass, LVEDV, LVESV, Enlarged LA, and elevated LVDEP 34.
Also, the thoracic part of my spine shows degeneration for some reason - no injuries to that area, but I found it weird that showed up when I started having all of my cardiac related problems.
Vent Rate: 85
PR 146
QRSD 102
QT/QTc 398/473
P/QRS/T Axes 61/56/36
Frequent PVC's
Low voltage QRS
Prolonged QT
I did my LQTS point system 460-469 would be 2 pts >480 3pts but I'm between 2 & 3 pts, plus syncope would be 2 pts = 4pts, which would mean I had a high probability of LQTS; my dr's have not even visited this possibility. I was left with [shrug] we just don't know what's wrong.
Maybe this means nothing or will mean something to a new EP since polymorphic VT was confirmed? LQTS, HCM...what else could it be? I've had a full cardiac workup including ekg, echo, stress test, EPS, Ablation, MRI, Cath, CT's & Xrays - is there anything else I should ask for them to do?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
