Then on a routine dr visit I had a v tach episode and was sent to cardiac icu I was put on medication and later had ablation surgery. I still have episodes of light headedness but there farther between now. My dr said there was an area that he couldnt get to. This makes me wonder if Im still in the danger zoneUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11631600650141434824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633435959278648203.post-9065385666686672722011-01-10T08:07:09.347-08:002011-01-10T08:07:09.347-08:00I had an episode on 9/21/09, my heart went to 280 ...I had an episode on 9/21/09, my heart went to 280 bpm on the way to the Hospital they couldn't convert me with drugs so they shocked me back! I hope to never be shocked again while con chance. They sent me home that night and the next day went into vt again and passed out on the couch, my wife was there and grabbed my ankles and pulled me off, when I hit the floor that converted me back. I still went to the Hospital. I went through a lot of tests, (eco, eco stress, angeia gram. Went through an ep study and couldn't find anything. Figured I had only gotten of the beta blocker for one day. A few months went by and went in for another ep study with no beta blocker for 7 days. This time I lit up like the fourth of July. He ablated two large areas in my lower left ventricular on 1/21/10. I was on channel blockers for 11 months and no episodes. Now I am off the drugs with no problems. Hopefully this is it. I am back to normal activities, baling hay and cutting fire wood.

My experience was similar to yours, except I couldn’t move my neck or leg afterwards. Plus there was a ton of blood in my hair from my jugular vein puncture! I was told that Ablations of ventricular tachycardia in patients with otherwise normal hearts can be permanently curative of the arrhythmia. Patients with "normal heart" VT once ablated are considered cured of their VT. This type of VT is relatively rare but ablation success rates exceeding 90% are often seen in patients like me. So far, I haven't had any recurring v-tach episodes.Jennnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633435959278648203.post-11074166354007315202009-09-09T18:05:36.887-07:002009-09-09T18:05:36.887-07:00Hi Sandra,

(not quite at your level but I do like to compete within my age group)<br />I have been referred to an electophysiologist but haven't seen him yet. Just wondering if you have come accross any sites or info on treatment and success rates.<br />Thanks for all of your info. It has been interesting reading your blog because everything you discribed has mirrored my experiences. <br />take care<br />SandraSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726867607825556512noreply@blogger.com
