Three Types of PVC Sufferers

Posted 08-12-2010 at 01:08 AM by heyerok

I stumbled upon a really interesting study that was published not too long ago. The link to this study is at the bottom of the post.

Basically, there is evidence showing three types of people who suffer from frequent PVCs:
Positive - PVC frequency increases with a heart rate increase
Bi-Directional - PVC frequency increases at low heart rates and decreases at high heart rates (think overdrive suppression)
Flat & Negative - Both flat (PVC frequency is almost...

One More Day

Posted 07-25-2010 at 11:40 AM by bypeep

It's awful to live in fear like this. I see a Cardiologist tomorrow (Monday) at 1:00pm and I'm terrified of having another episode before I get there. Not that a consultation is going to make things better, but it'll be a start.

The last time I went through this whole heart rhythm thing I was a teenager and I don't recall the process very well. I was also more ignorant of heart issues back then.

What has two thumbs and just ran 8.1 miles?

I am seriously hating wearing this monitor!

Posted 02-17-2010 at 08:09 AM by homemaker

Wearing this event monitor is seriously getting OLD! If I wasn't paranoid before I am now...Strange how the paranoia over every little skip or twinge can sneak up on you...I am at war with myself over that!
I have every confidence that there is probably NOTHING wrong with my heart...and that this all has to do with my uncontrolled high blood pressure...
However.... I will be much more confident if they give me a stress test in the end to know for sure. I want this to be so DONE!
