at my icd interrogation in november the tech told me that the icd had caught 25 incidents of arrythmias since my previous interrogation and referred to them airily as a-fib. however, since none of the episodes were very long (the longest a minute) i didn't think too much about it. i'd posted about this here--as some of you might recall.
at the next interrogation, a couple of weeks ago, i decided to ask the tech (different guy) for details. so he pulled it up and lo and behold it turned out that i had had 25 episodes since the device was last cleared a year ago (NOT just since the interrogation prior to the november one) and that in fact almost all of these were instances of a-t, not a-fib. moreover, almost all of them were bunched together in a period of a few days in september.
the next time i see my cardiologist i'll ask about all this but i'm wondering if anyone here knows generally if a-t is generally something harmless or whether it is bad in its own right or if it can be a marker of things to possibly come?
thanks in advance!
