My son has Supraventricular Tachycardia SVT, he also has benign hypotonia? |
Hi all, my son was born 4 weeks early via emergency c-section (he is now 4 months). After 45 minutes of not finding a heartbeat using the dopla machine and ultrasound, being told that i had lost him and enduring much dispair, I felt him kick. I asked to be checked again and his heartbeat was detected and strong. At birth his apgar score was 7 and 8 (at 5 minutes) and his blood gasses were fine. Atenolol does have side effects such as drowsiness but does its job well. As for the SVT, he might never have an attack again, or, if he does, it can easily be treated with a catheter ablation - a 2-5 hour procedure in which a catheter (small narrow line) is directed up to the heart via a vein in the groin area. Once there, they restart the arrhythmia and ablate (destroy) a small area that is responsible for the problem. Has the cardiologist ruled out Wolfe-Parkinson-White? There are in many cases surgical ways of correcting frequent spells of SVT. They thread a wire into the heart and cauterize the area of the hearts electrical conduction system that is causing the reentry SVT to happen. Good Luck! |
