A member asked:

I am having repetitive runs of nsvt. the longest was a 22 beat run. my heart is structurally normal so doc suggests an ep study. should i do this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Please follow your doctor's advice and get the EP study. It may point a way to proper treatment. Ventricular tachycardia is not a trivial matter.
