| Diagnosed condition | atrial flutter w/ rapid ventricular response |
|---|
| Years with condition | 1 |
|---|
| Frequency of episodes | multiple each day |
|---|
| Duration of episodes | minutes now for the most part |
|---|
| Event preceding first AF | hypertension |
|---|
| General health | type 2 diabetes, peripheral nuropathy |
|---|
| Current state | recovering from ablate and pace |
|---|
| Triggers | unknown for sure, too random |
|---|
| Preventions | still working on this |
|---|
| Current medications/side effects | amiodarone 200 mg x2 daily still adjusting dosage
metoprolol 100 mg x2 daily still adjusting dosage
digoxin 0.25 mg x1 daily
warfarin 5 mg x1 daily still adjusting dosage
meds to new to quantify side effects |
|---|
| Past medications/side effects | metoprolol 50 mg x2 daily seemed to lessen severity of episodes for a while |
|---|
| History of surgery | AV node ablation and pacer implant 6 wks ago |
|---|
| Future plans | Hope to gain control of AF episodes. Hope to return to more sedintary employment so episodes will be less debilitating. |
|---|
| Personal comments | Still have other conduction paths so when in AF random pulses are still getting to ventricles. Doc says I'm in the 5%-10% of patients who have these conduction pathways. |
