Dana, with the information you gave me, you have a 1 in a million heart too. With yours however, you have multiple pathways I assume are just in the Right Atrial chamber and the SA Node (the heart’s natural pacemaker) is involved. You didn’t mention if the pathways attached to the AV Node(the Command Center) that tells the Right and Left Ventricles to contract and pump the chamber full of blood. You do have a complicated heart but I don’t know if I asked you certain questions, you might not know the answer.
My pathway is just one extra that connects the SA Node and the AV Node together in a complete circle. When a pulse beat jumps into the short circuit circle, it just keeps commanding the right ventricle to pump. The normal pathway is also commanding the right ventricle to pump. That causes my heart to go into Tachycardia and has been clocked at 197 bpm. So yes, our hearts are similar and I would assume yours is a genetic birth defect too.
Now you need to start investigating your family’s past and current medical history. Others may have similar defects and don’t know it yet. I discovered 5 so far in my family with unusual heart problems. Good luck with your heart repair, they’re still waiting to map mine out. @becky1024
