Ablation For Inappropriate sinus tachycardia

41 male with IST

inappropriate sinus tachycardia

Controlled with 25mg Metrpoholol Tartrate twice daily


Normal echo and ejection fraction

Does anyone have inappropriate sinus tachycardia. What's a typical treatment.

Anyone can recommend good doctors in Philadelphia

Hi I am not a cardiologist but I am a physician with considerable experience in cardiac disorders. Just to be clear are you sure it is sinus tachycardia and not atrial tachycardia The former is common and not serious but the latter can be. Who ever evaluated you would know after looking at your EKG..

Both can be exacerbated by stress, caffeine, nicotine, fevers and exercise. You are on a beta blocker that would slow the heart rate .I have never heard ablation is recommended for this condition which should be reversible.

As an aside I personally believe magnesium(Mg) deficiency can cause many cardiac conditions. Mg deficiency is very common in the US because of processed foods that remove Mg from our diet. You might want to get a blood Mg test. If it is low than you definitely need to take a Mg supplement and eat foods fortified in Mg (pumpkin seeds have the highest amount of Mg per ounce and add to cereal). If the blood test is normal it doesn't rule out Mg deficiency in the heart. Hence in either setting you might discuss the need for Mg with your primary care physician.

One other thought. Mg is essential for imperceptibly slowing electrical impulses from the atria at the AV node , allowing, atrial contractions to be complete so all blood volume in atria can empty completely into the ventricles. Without that, heart rates will be higher.. Mg does slow heart rate for that reason so it might help with sinus tachycardia.

I just came on here to find out that same thing. Found this in another thread.

Hi,
I can't vouch for this personally, but I noticed that Medstar Washington Hospital Center is doing what seems to be a new procedure for inappropriate sinus tachycardia.

(scroll to about p. 6).

There is also a study coming up:

I have IST and the only effective treatment that I have used has been Ivabradine (Corlanor). I has had few side effects and works extremely well for me. Do you know when /why it began?Feel free to ask more questions.

In 2013.. after 4 years of flu shots.. hmm?

For 2 years (2013-2015) it was up and down

I thankfully found out about beta-blockers

I tried 4. I couldn't tolerate them

I got on Metrpoholol Tartrate 25mg 1-2
A day or as needed and its been a quality of life
Saver.

Tell me about your experience

Millions of people receive the flu shot annually without complications and have for decades. The only thing flu shots do is prevent the flu.

We're all different. The UK Ministry of Health finally launched a study two years ago and released their findings in the summer last year. Excess deaths were much higher after the commencement of government-sponsored/mandated vaccination against COVID. Unexplained as yet, but truly and alarmingly significant excess deaths, like more than 20K per annum higher....that's a WHACK!! of deaths. One could be excused for wondering if the vaccine was causing excess mortality, and the scientific community seems to be slowly coming around to realizing that the MRNA vaccine needs more thought and care. Still, I have had eight of them so far, two different companies, Moderna and Pfizer. I wish I could blame my AF on them, but unfortunately I can't; I was three years into AF by that time.

Flu vaccines are not MRNA vaccines. Nor are those for MMR, Diphtheria, Pertussis, Herpes Zoster, Pneumonia, Hepatitis, etc., which have been widely used for decades with no apparent ill effect wide enough for people to begin to wonder.

I'm happy that you have found a happy place. Nobody likes to see people suffer, whether strangers or friends.

You'd have to show me the data because I've never seen anything showing higher excess deaths attributable to the MRNA vaccines, nor have I seen any indication of doubts about MRNA vaccines within the scientific community. The reality is the numbers overwhelmingly show them to be an astonishing success.

So post the UK data if you want but I don't want to go down an anti-vax rabbit hole. Already bad enough that RFK has canceled the vaccine advisory meeting this year, possibly meaning there won't even be flu vaccines available next fall.

I will respectfully decline to post it, Carey...it's getting a little wide-of-field for this forum. What I mainly wanted to contribute is that what we are being fed in the MSM is at best suspect, and that some very savvy and highly educated observers have begun to point out some apparent errors in public policy that have potentially cost lives unnecessarily.

I myself, am living proof that vaccines work, and I have no regrets, including availing myself of the COVID varieties.
