I've got lot's of feelings, waiting for Pati to get her surgery. She's a spunky woman, with lot's of sparkle!

I don't mean to belabor you guys with my problems, but i've got to "think out loud" with you all again.

I got the reports of my EP study in Oct. and report of RF Ablation for SVT re-entry on Dec. 4th. I may need to rethink what procedure to have again.
Q 1.-What does "atypical" atrial flutter mean?
Q 2.-I had short runs of wide QRS tachy with subsequent stress test which had "equivocal results" for ST changes? What do they mean...equivocal?

Apparently the 100J's biphasic shock I told you guys about during my EPstudy was for ventricular flutter!! That was news to ME, and I don't like it!

The Impression section is that I have sinus node dysfunction, brady cardia, Afib,Aflutter,and Atrial tachy.

Anyone got a guess as to wheather EITHER Maze or RF could cure me? If so, then about how many cottin'picken' procedures will take??? I'm still having "break through junctional rythms and af, while on Rythmol. I'd need another monitor to know for sure what's going on because i'm often asymptomatic.

You recon that I don't even belong on this board?? I'm beginning to wonder!

Sarah, kinda' in the funks right now.
