Help! Penny - electrophysiology study - ok for mito?

[Guest guest]

Daughter Penny in hospital with heart rate that skyrocketed from 70 to 220 after

standing up. Had 2 blackouts in last week. Cardiologist wants to do an EPS

study ie I think they put a catheter in up to her heart, and am guessing if they

find some irregular they might want to do ablation. i've read this is bad for

mito but what are the other options! pacemaker i guess? sorry if i'm repeating

some questions but am panicking. it is 11.30 pm here and they want to do it in

the morning so i thought i'd call for comments re this procedure. they are

doing it under local. pamela (melas a3243g)

A cardiac pacemaker is usually implanted to treat SLOW heart rhythms rather than

fast. Sometimes another thype of device is implanted for fast heart rhythms but

only a very specific type of fast rhythm.

I am new to this site, but read your e mail. I am so

sorry to hear of Penny's plight. Hope she will keep a

stiff upper lip and hope she gets better.
