      May I ask what the outcome was from this discovery? I have recently had results back from an holster monitor that also show ventricular tachycardia and due to see cardiologist soon for an Echocardiogram to investigate further

      First thing they did was put me on Beta-Blockers, maybe you can find my other posts where, along with others, I describe how Beta-Blockers seem to have made me permanently ill. I had to stop taking them, as soon as I did, my VT started to become a very common feature of my life, I got many ambulance rides, the last one, following a 12 hour episode of VT saw me in A&E then resusitation unit for five days, they then gave me an ablation which they claim has cured my Ventricular Tachycardia. I would say it has stopped my ectopic beats turning into runs of VT, but thats about all. Every day now I wonder if it will be my last, just walking to the doctors saw my heartbeat at 187, I was doing some washing up and suddenly nearly fainted, the "Reveal Linq" device in my chest recorded my heart beat suddenly having a run of 8 ectopic beats at 183 bpm. I dont know if its the beta blockers which I have been off since April, or the ablation, or an underlying heart condition that is getting rapidly worst, but my health rapidly went down hill as soon as the NHS started treatment for my VT.
