Help me pick ICD - POTS, arrhythmic MVP
Having EP study next week (May 18). The dr says he is very likely going to put in an ICD during it because prior echo and holter monitor studies showed arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse and some very brief tachycardia episodes. He says I can pick whether to get S-ICD or T-ICD.
I also have POTS, which means my autonomic system messes with my heart rate pretty regularly. The doctor has not investigated the POTS at all, which means he’s not aware of just how much it impacts my heart rate.
I am a pretty active person. Female, 42. I rock climb and whitewater kayak etc.
From yalls experience, which would be better for someone like me? I am leaning towards T-ICD because of the chances that both the POTS and the exercise could trigger erroneous shocks, but maybe dislodging the leads would be way worse with a T-ICD?
Anyone have experience with an arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse?
Anyone have POTS and an ICD?
