Hello,
I have a history of pvc's, last 8 years or so. I have had uncountable ECG's, holter monitors and chest x-rays. I'm at 37, female, never smoked, don't drink, never done drugs, have exercised all my life.
I have also had three echo's. First one was 'normal', back in 2005.I had another one last October, was never informed of findings until I was sent a referral to another cardiologist, which I attended yesterday.
My scan came back as " abnormal " and he has referred me for an MRI to rule out ARVD. I can't explain the fear I have, I have cried since leaving his office.
He said he does not ' think ' it is the condition but mentioned it anyway? I asked why it was abnormal and he said it could be many things, even to the way the scan was taken.
I'm fit, I have exercised all my life. I am 5ft 2 inches tall, 136 pounds, my blood pressure is always normal, has never been high.
I have three children and I'm going out of my mind with worry. I have no history of this condition in my family. I have never passed out with the PVC's, I have never been breathless or had chest pain.....I don't even get out of breath after exercising.
I'm desperately after a little reassurance, he wasn't the warmest of cardiologists and I don't understand why he mentioned something so serious if he * thinks * I don't have it.
Thank you x :'(

Hi Jess,

Every ECG has come back normal.....my echo yesterday didn't and that's when he mentioned this condition. I can't tell you how afraid I am. I'm not coping.

May I ask how many PVCs a day you have?
I think you would have ECG changes if you had that condition,  
I know how difficult it is for you at the moment but try to stay calm, it's good that you've been referred for an additional test because you will get some answers soon.
I wish you well
