EP Study Question for any health Care/or Dr.

Hello I am 43 and have heart disease. Recently I had two episods of sycope. I get light headed,
feels like a butterfly in my chest, and I pass out. My Dr. put me In the Hospital and did a heart
Cath. there had been no changes in the progression of disease, for once 🙂 He called in a partner
who did and EP study, all went well, untill he tilted the table into and upright position and I
was having chest pain so he stoped the test.

This is a tilt-table test rather than an "EP study".

Quoted message said:

My Dr had suspected maybe scaring at the nodes as I had triple bypass surgery last year and a
emergency re-do bypass three months after the first, however the sycope was not recreated in the
EP study, And I was under the Impression all is well. Yesterday I had another episod of passing
out, the same symptoms as the first two. I am now wondering how difinitive the EP study is.

A tilt-table is far from definitive and imho, was an inappropriate test for your history.

Quoted message said:

does any one know is this the gold standard testing for this type of problem.

An electrophysiological (EPS) study.

Quoted message said:

Are there any other tests that could be recommended?

EPS

Quoted message said:

I am concerned about this and have had Injury to my back with the previous fainting, as well as
bang to my head and split to my eyebrow with yesterdays episode. Any sugesstions would be
respectfully received .

Would suggest you get a second opinion from another electrophysiologist (who is likely going to do
an EPS for you).

Thank you

You are welcome :-)

Humbly,

Please follow Dr Chungs advice. I am a cardiology technician not a cardiologist. While you have
given just a bit of information on your cardiac condition it is more than enough to know that with
your history of coronary artery disease, arrhythmia would most probably the first thing an EP would
check for in a patient.It is most important that you get a second opinion. And have an EP study. The
test you had was a tilt table test for neurocardiogenic syncope.

You've had the "gold standard."

Would suggest you ask about being given an event recorder. The fanciest one can be implanted.

That would be nice for a change (not writing about you but in reference to the anti-christians

Totally unnecessary comment. Please try limiting your comments to cardiology - don't feed the fire.

Totally unnecessary comment.

In your opinion.

Why not buy Usenet, name yourself King, and then you can make any rules you want.

DARPA will be glad to assist you in the sale.
