I am the only person I have ever met with AV node re-entrant tachycardia. Anyone else treated for this?


I told some critical care nurses I had an ablation for AV node re-entrant tachycardia and they never heard of it. It is supposed to be a fairly common reason to have an ablation. I am so thankful to have seen a sign board which said "Prairie Heart Institute". Top 5 in the nation. They cured me there. I thought I was going to die and no one would be there when I did it. Dr. Kreigh Moulton is a genius. He fixed my broken heart.

Your problem is rare and I have seen quite a few person with this problems in my experience.AV node re-entrant tachycardia is actually a aberrant accessory pathwat that runs from atrim to ventricle bypassing the AV node and hence the name.For the heart to work ,it require electrical stimulation to stimulate the heart muscle.This electrical stimuli start in atria and then travels down to ventricle in a well defined pathway.When someone like you have this accessory pathway,what happens is that there might be premature stimulation of your ventricle resulting in poor function of your heart and symptoms like dizziness and even unconsiousness.Good that you got the accessory pathway ablated.Hopefully the symptoms do not come back.

I have never had it, but I was an office nurse for an electrophysiologist for about a year, and we frequently saw people with it. Most people that have not learned as much as you and I call it SVT, even people in the medical field that don't work with patients like yourself daily.
