event recorder results

Results of a recent Event Monitor
monomorphic unifocal wide complex beats, probably ventricular, couplets, triplets and runs of 4 to 9 beats long, the longer runs being irregular. Rates tend to be less then 150BPM but could be up to 180BPM. No P waves seen. Rare PVC's of a different morphology, PAC's and a 5-beat atrial tachycardia at 150BPM. No pauses.

Normal stress/echo, structurally normal heart

I've had PVC's/ PAC's and runs of Atrial Tach for years. My concern is this possible NSVT. During these recorded episodes I was having extreme panic and anxiety making them worse I have struggled with anxiety for years over any heart palpitations I have.
My EP doc is not concerned, another EP doc in the same practice didn't even think it was NSVT.  I have been on Toprol XL for years. I'm just looking for anyones thoughts. Thanks

The report implies a 9 beat run of VTach. It is very abnormal for an electrophysioogist to not be concerned with that.

Is your report verbatim?
