pacemaker vs v6

Does an EP have to do an EP study and ablation or can they just look at the monitor readings and put a pacemaker in? Who does the pacemaker? An EP or cardiac surgeon? I hate to go through an EP study if it really isn't necessary. I'm very tired of feeling so bad and want to cut to the chase without waiting much longer. I'd much rather have a pacemaker than mess around with ablations that may or may not work.

We are trying to figure out if we should go direclty to the insertion of a pacemaker vs. an ablasion procedure. Since ablasion procedure may need to be repeated and flecainide (drug after ablasion) is questionable, should we just go directly to the pacemaker?

my heart Dr. said that I need a av node ablation and a pace maker, it scares me and I would like to know if it is safe. I am 69 years old. Thank You Jo This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/254709'>Pacemaker and AV Node Ablation, Coumadin vs. ASA</a>.

What kind of infection? UTI,yeast infection, or BV?

Hypokalemia- An ambulance EKG noted abnormal repolarisation with EKG presenting in a sinus rhythm with T wave inversion in leads II & III and a VF with T waves V4 V5 V6 with T wave depression in leadsV4 V5 V6. ER would not look at report. Did not agree that it was cardiac related(asked how I knew..”They gave aspirin in ambulance”. They discharged m immediately and sarcastically. I have been in ER twice with hypokalemia (level 2.8). Is this normal with Hypokalemia?

Mom is 90 yrs old and has severe dementia. She is need of a new pacemaker battery. Cardiologist said they don't change batteries - the whole pacemaker is changed. She is using her pacemaker 95% of the day. Is is a good idea to change this? Can you still die with a pacemaker? I know if she could make the decision herself she would tell me to not change it and leave well enough alone. I don't know what to do.

t really give an answer as to how long your luteal phase can draw out with the V6. If you take your BBT, at least you will know when you ovulated (if you're not pregnant already). If you have regular cycles, I don't think the V6 would draw it out more than 18 or 20 dpo, but that's just my guess. I'm sorry I really can't give you a lot of information other than that the V6 helped prolong my luteal phase right away, in the same cycle I started taking it.

hi there, so, it sounds like the pacemaker they implanted is not working for you? Why did they decide on pacemaker and not a defibrillator? I am just curious, I am learning about both... I'm not sure VT could go on for 19 minutes, though I'm not sure on that...? To be honest, I'm not sure on most stuff. I can relate, however to your situation - I am 34 and am also a mystery to doctors. For the past 10 years I've gotten a lot of shoulder shrugs from them.

I had a EKG done and the result were "Slight ST-T abnormality (V3, V4, V5, V6) also Sinus Rhythm what does that mean

Everything went well and I do not have a pacemaker. I was told by my EP that if I needed an AV node ablation then I would need a pacemaker, thankfully that did not need to happen.

Hello everyone, new to this forum. About 3 months ago i started having PVC's at a very low burden (V6). Everything i read on the internet states that PVC's in this location are very rare and a red flag for scary things like ARVD. My question is, is it possible to have BENIGN PVC's from this area of the heart? or does it have to be from underlying heart disease? I am 32 yr old healthy male with no family history of any heart disease. Extensive cardiac testing all negative.

III and a VF with T waves V4 V5 V6 with T wave depression in leadsV4 V5 V6. ER would not look at report. ( I have been in ER twice with hypokalemia (level 2.8). Is this normal with Hypokalemia? Only other health condition epilepsy). Should I be concerned about Ventricular Fibrilation?

My 15 year old daughter had a pacemaker put in on 7/15/13. Due to severe staph infection it was removed on 8/15/13. She continues on IV antibiotics here at home. Her current pediatric cardiologist has made the decision to leave a "vegetation" on her upper right heart valve. Her blood cultures have remained negative for over a week now. I feel as though since the removal of the pacemaker, he seems to not want much to do with her. SO, I am looking to get a second opinion.

im 52 female had a treadmill stress test and got results back it says there was j point depressions slowly upsloping st segments in the inferior wall leads v3 to v6 by the time peak excercise these changes acheive 1mm st segment depressions after the j point in leads v4 v5 and 1-1.5 mm in the inferior wall leads . These changes resolve by 2 min recovery st depression of 1.0 to 1.5 mm in inferior wall leads,delayed recovery ekgs at 4 min show st depressions in inferior leads which achieve 1.

QR D2-F QRS D3 R high V2 QRV5-V6, without significant alterations of repolarization (inferior and/or back inferior). All the rest, normal. The explanations could be an infart secuel, but should be checked by more studios.

I had an ecg yesterday for a job I'm applying for and the v6 line at the bottom right went on a steep incline cutting through the 2 lines above it and off the graph, all other readings were normal, is this likely to be a fault on the machine?

Treating the sleep apnea by non-invasive therapy vs. invasive lifelong pacemaker for symptoms would most likely have been the better road to travel. My husband had the same symptoms you describe. He was sent for a sleep study and his pauses were as high as 10 seconds. His treatment is use of CPAP machine (continuous positive airway pressure) during sleep.

I can see small, narrow Q waves in V5 and V6 too, and narrow Q waves in lead II and AVF (less than 40 msec wide, but they are about 0,15 mv deep). No Q waves in other leads. As I said, they change a bit, most EKGs are stamped "normal" but one of them was stamped "old MI". My R progression through the precordial leads is perfect. I'm 28 years old and healthy, I can't believe I've had a heart attack!

This is hard to explain. The leads V1 to V6 are placed from right to left on your chest. As the left heart chamber is thicker than the right, positive electrical signals are supposed to increase from V1 towards V5 and reduce again in V6 as this electrode is placed over the left lung. A poor R wave progression may indicate that some part of the heart is damaged (thus not producing electricity) but it's also often just a sign that your heart is located differently in the chest.

After having problems with fainting during workouts my doctor did a 24 hour holter and referred me to a Cardiologist due to "episodes of SVT vs ST". The Cardiologist did a 30 day event monitor which showed frequent PVCs and some Sinus Tach. He said he saw nothing life threatening. I used to have High blood pressure and within the last few months it has been low, maybe the cause of the fainting spells. I also have hypothyroidism that the doctor is having trouble controlling.
