Aa
V-tach and A-tach same person
I am a 34 yr old Man
I have had two pacemakers.
I also had two WPW's ablated.
I have just foung out I have V-Tachy and A-tachy
They are running 1:1
I cannot find any info on this condition
its either one or the other but not both
Can anyone help me?!?
I called the AHA and I stumped the lady,
she couldn't find any info on it either
she just sent me info on clinical trials
I am very worried I passed out last week and was taken to the ER they had no answers for me either.
Thank you

Hi, I'm here again. You won't be alone. After ablation my one drop to 40. I was very sick when I woke up in CCU. I'd an internal & external pacemaker for about a week. 10 yrs ago, my pacemaker's lead was leaking. I end up with complete heart block.
Now I've A Fib. Dr said I've A Tach (I don't know which one I had? It couldn't be both, ask our expert: Tickertock). Pacemaker switches the mode, it is not enough to stop my palpitations. It increases my V rate. Last Friday then I knew my 2 leads St Jude pacemaker also call ICD. My god, it was in my chest for 10 yrs, I didn't notice it can fire. It is not presant when it kicks. I've these strong beats more than 10 times a day nearly everyday. So far so good my heart haven't caught fire yet!!! Last month, it programed automatic switches DDDR to DDIR if needed, I suppose. I felt the strong beat was chasing the light beat. (Playing chasing each other game). It woke me up at night 3 to 4 times, drive me crazy! Did yours one like that too? I feel palpitations but my pulse never goes over 80 since after ablation. Dr said I still have my WPW pattern and own conduction there. (Tickertock, please help to explain, please....)If you have any question, please feel free to ask. I'll answer and tickertock will explain. (I hope you don't mind.) It is too hard to get a chance to post for a doctor to explain. Take care! Pika.

Hello
I am new here, been reading a lot for a week or so! What does it feel like when you have an episode? Do you notice them separately or does it just feel like your heart is racing? How did your doctor determine that you had WPW? A certain test for it? How did you go about getting the ablation done, did a doctor recommend you have it done or did you ask to have it done?
What will an echocardiogram diagnose?
A little history - I've had episodes of racing heart for at least 9 years now. They were very frequent when I was pregnant with my son and my OB/GYN said I was having panic attacks. In April of this year I went to the ER because I'd been having an episode lasting 2+ hours, and the ER doc said he didn't think it was panic attacks. I've had EKG during the episode and after I was converted using Idenacard (?)and one said left atrial abnormality, and some other stuff. I just had a Holter monitor which came back with rates of 54-129 bpm, periods of sinus tachycardia, PAC's including couplets, and something about repolarizations.
Sorry about the run on! I have so many questions and my doctor doesn't seem interested enough to answer them, or hasn't yet anyway, and he has not referred me to a cardiologist.
I would appreciate any feedback any one can give me.
Thank you!

The ablations were successful
as far as my ECG says
after I had them blasted
My heart rate dropped to 23 beats a minute
so I had the pacer inplanted
Thank you for the questions I am
writing all this stuff down
Stuff i would never even know to ask.
THank you everyone agian

I think you said you an ablation for WPW, was your ablation a success or failure? Did having the ablation cause you to end up having a pacemaker implanted? Why the need for a pacemaker if the WPW ablation was a success? Is the pacemaker overdriving? Are you experincing atrial fibrillation with 1:1 conduction to ventricle resulting in wide complex tachycardia being confused with VT when actually the tachycardia is originating above the ventricles? These are some questions I would ask my cardiologist if I was experiencing your problems. I am not medical doctor or nurse, but these are the questions I would ask. Good luck and hope you get the answers you are searching for , also some relief.
P.S. I have only one pacemaker in now they removed the first
plus one wire
they gave me a new wire and a new pacemaker
Thank you everyone for you
input

When they interigated my pacemaker
he said you have both atrial tachycardia and
ventricular tachycardia happening at the same time.
I guess I have a wire in my atrial and one in my ventricular
they both picked up the tachycardia.
he pulled out five readings from the last
two weeks all with a-tach and v-tach happening at the same time
I go in Monday for a better explaination
with the cardiologist.
but I have been all over the internet and called the AHA
and have not found anything explianing this condition
