Heart Rhythm Conditions – Welcome to the group

Posted by Kanaaz Pereira, Connect Moderator @kanaazpereira, Feb 14, 2018

Welcome to the Heart Rhythm Conditions group on Mayo Clinic Connect.
Did you know that the average heart beats 100,000 times a day? Millions of people live with heart rhythm problems (heart arrhythmias) which occur when the electrical impulses that coordinate heartbeats don't work properly. Let's connect with each other; we can share stories and learn about coping with the challenges, and living well with abnormal heart rhythms. I invite you to follow the group. Simply click the +FOLLOW icon on the group landing page.

I'm Kanaaz (@kanaazpereira), and I'm the moderator of this group. When you post to this group, chances are you'll also be greeted by volunteer patient Mentors and fellow members. Learn more about Moderators and Mentors on Connect.

Let's chat. Why not start by introducing yourself?

@drdianeschneider

SVT, which involves the upper chambers, over time can lead to heart failure but not likely "sudden death." That would be ventricular tachycardia. You may have misunderstood something the doctor said about your condition, may want to confirm with him or her, as thinking about "sudden death" would certainly be distressing.

Mine again is involving lower chambers not upper. My doctor explained it. And I read about it. I have an above college graduate study level understanding . Over and over I have written I do not want to discuss it, yet you contact me again with the same message.

No more discussion please.

I am 78 so I had heart issues identified first 51 years ago.

I wish I didn’t have it!

My cousin had heart issues. It didn’t stop him from traveling by car long distances for quite a while.

Risk of NSVT for cardiac arrest apparently is when it is accompanied by structural heart issues like valve problems.

@gift440 I have afib with rapid ventricular response with heart rate up to 200. That is why I asked you for more info.

I see. I am not tracking it. Although I could on my Apple Watch, I’d rather not get anxiety about it.

Do you have a Linq 11 loop a device in your heart to monitor it in real time and see what is going on ?

He told me condition was worse or dangerous because in the lower chamber( s?. Scheduled surgery to put Linq device in 2 days later. I report symptoms and dr reviews as they occur via my Iphone and Medtronic monitor in my heart.

He talked about a pacemaker and defibrillator . I went because I was tired all the time and felt faint a lot for years. Have Ehlers Danlos and was told they are testing whole families that have that because can affect aorta.

My grandson a college junior fainted playing inter-mural football recently. the cardiac the testing Found he does have irregular heart rhthym. He’s in great physical condition. In premed.
