Event timeline added by: Kimarkus

Sudden onset of severe shortness of breath. Ambulance ride and 3 days in hospital with diagnosis of CHF/DCM possibly from virus. Had some PVCs that cardiologist said no worries. Sent home with a life vest, heart meds and low sodium diet. EF was 10-15 and increased to 45 within 3 mos.

Started feeling fatigue and echo showed EF decreased to 30. Learned I was in bigeminy and was the first time I heard of it. Many, many heart tests...stress, nuclear, CAT, MRI...you name it, I had it. Hotter monitor showed 30,000 PVCs a day. EPs couldn't figure out where they were coming from. Stayed in bigeminy continually and was exhausted. EP scheduled ablation.

Had ablation with successful results. Felt 1000 times better.

Echo showed no improvement with EF at 30. PVCs low. Feel good but they want to put in ICD.

ICD implant. Rough recovery

PVCs are back with a vengeance. Reading my ICD shows bigeminy .

EP want to put me on amioderone. I respectfully decline as I'm searching for less toxic solutions.
