Question 1

could supraventricular ectopic beats be the trigger of nocturnal sinus tacycardia with normal rythm i get from time to time while off of
betablockers?

Accepted Answer

It is unlikely that: ectopic beats would trigger sinus tachycardia however it is possible that ectopic beats could trigger other forms of supra ventricular tachycardia both relatively slow or fast runs that might mimic sinus tachycardia. Beta blockers would be reasonably effective at suppressing these ectopic rhythms.

Question 2

bisoprolol at pm for nocturnal sinus tachycardia maybe giving too low bp on waking am so would propranolol help more with anxiety and ectopic and nsvt?

Accepted Answer

Adjust: those dose of whatever med u r taking to achieve proper results. Other options in include verapamil, diltiazem, ivadribine. Learn TM, breathing control. Avoid unrealistic expectations. HRS, MD, FACC www.thepmc.org.

Question 3

is a sinus tachycardia same thing as supraventricular tachycardia?

Accepted Answer

No: Sinus tachycardia is the normal fast heart rate that results from a stressful situation, physically or emotionally (running, being upset, having fever, etc...).  Svt is an arrhythmia that usually requires abnormalities of the electrical conduction system of the heart, and if frequent and troubling needs directed treatment. Sinus tachycardia does not require treatment of its own usually.

Question 4

what is supraventricular ectopy? is it benign? is this the same as sinus tachycardia?

Accepted Answer

No. : Supra ventricular ectopy is electrical activity not originating at the sa node. Depending on how often and the number of ectopic sites will determine if it is benign or not. Sinus tach is a rapid hr, generally >100 <150, but the electrical impulse follow the normal pathway of sa node --> av node --> bundle oh hiss. Just faster than normal (60 -100 bpm).

Question 5

do i need to worried, heart holt? predominant rhythm was sinus bradycardia to sinus tachycardia. minimum to lowest 133bpm/56 bpm.there were 2987 psvc's with burden of 0.42%, two occurrences of supraventricular tachycardia with longest episode 22 beat?

Accepted Answer

: You should be evaluated by at least a cardiologist or an electrophysiologist is even better.

Question 6

if some one have an ectopic beat. which is blocked beat or blocked pac many times a day but some times this blocked pac followed by a sinus arrest. in this case, did the patient need a medications or just reassuring with good life habits?

Accepted Answer

: Nonconducted PACs are ones that occur so early after the previous beat that the ventricles are still refractory&amp;there will not be a contraction&amp; thus no QRS complex. Also the P wave may look different from the normal sinus P wave. The ectopic premature beat causes a reset of the sinus node( post ectopic depression). I'm not sure you're seeing true sinus node arrest which is due to damage.See cardi

Question 7

when u say that its common to have xtrabeats from atria do they usually come from the sinus or r they ectopic? if u have ectopic r they more malign?

Accepted Answer

Ectopic: We don't generally talk about "extra" beats coming from the sinus node, as those are normal sinus beats. Rather, extra beats or PACs come from an ectopic focus, but isolated PACs are generally a common and benign finding.

Question 8

i have an ectopic beat what occurs to me is blocked beat or blocked pac many times a day but some times this blocked pac followed by a sinus arrest. in this case, did i need a medications?

Accepted Answer

: I would ask Dr who has seen you and the ECGs and you have given a detailed family history of heart disease.  If you smoke stop.

Question 9

holter show 31 atrial xtra beats in 48 h, do these beats have to come outside the sinus and is it normal to have that many ectopic beats?

Accepted Answer

NORMAL: Absolutely normal. They could be related to caffeine, stimulants, decongestants or nothing at all. The Holter does not need any follow up.

Question 10

moms holter test shows ventricular ectopic beats.in 89307 beats total aw 133,isolated 112,pairs 4,abberant 0,runs 3&run beats 13.rhythym is sinus.help?

Accepted Answer

Not enough info: What distinguishes the significance of a rhythm disturbance is what the condition of the heart is, not the rhythm per se. Your mother needs an evaluation which includes information about how strong her heart is and whether she has evidence of blocked arteries. Other considerations are what meds she takes, her use of nicotine, alcohol and caffeine, and what symptoms, if any, she has. Warm wishes.
