Possible WPW Diagnosis?
My husband is 32, weighs about 150 give or take, exercises and stretches multiple times a week and does not eat sweets, drink caffeine, no smoking/alcohol and tries to maintain a healthy diet/lifestyle. He had his first episode of SVT in 2022 after bending down to pick up a golf ball. After being the hospital for a week, they diagnosed him with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia and attempted to conduct an ablation which they ruled unsuccessful because they could not recreate any abnormal rhythms to burn out, however they did place an implantable loop recorder in his chest. Fast forward a little over a year later in 2023, he had another episode, same exact situation and symptoms. We travelled to another hospital and they did another ablation which was again ruled unsuccessful because they could not recreate the rhythm. He went almost 3 years without another episode until last week where same situation he bent down to pick up a golf ball and went into svt. He tried his normal maneuvers to get himself out of it, but was unsuccessful and had to be shocked at the hospital. We were told by a family friend that his symptoms sound more like WPW than his original diagnosis. We are planning on finding another doctor and attempting another ablation due to the potential that they were only searching the lower chambers of his heart instead of the upper or potentially even the whole thing. Has anyone had any similar experiences like this or any suggestions in dealing with the potential WPW diagnosis? Thanks so much!
** would like the add he was placed on verapamil after the first episode and has been on it ever since.
His episodes usually consisted of a heart rate of 230 or so and BP ranging from 70/40 to 87/55.
