What Does Incapability Of SA Node Of Beating Fast Indicate?
I m a 29 year old female nursing student with some sort of exercise induced SVT/PSVT syptoms. I was on a cardiac event monitor for 2 months. My heart had small episodes of PAC s, PVC,s and PACs with couplets but while wearing the monitor it never did the real thing . I m a musician, so I m familiar with rhythm and have counted my HR at 250-260 during one of these episodes if not higher. The cardiology office I go to said the SA Node is not capable of beating that fast...or conducting that quickly rather. Please advise, is this serious? I exercise a lot and that s the only time it happens. I need peace of mind on this.

Hi welcome to him
I understand your query and concern.
Incapability of SA node indicates abnormality in the spread of impulse in the heart.I advise you to go for an ECG,2D Echo,lipid profile immediately to confirm the diagnosis.You may need drugs like Amiodarone,beta blockers,anti hypertensives immediately by discussing with your doctor.You may need a Pace maker insertion once diagnosis is confirmed.Regular monitoring of heart is mandate in your case.Also get your blood pressure and heart rate monitored.Get electro physiological study and radio frequency ablation by discussing with your doctor.Consult your cardiologist for expert management.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you
