Re: Echo results and a strange question... need some opinions...

okie doke.

so i went and saw the doc today, and he is setting me up for a VQ scan
of the lungs...

checked my Pulse Ox.. and it was 98. are those things accurate?

my BP was 114/76 and pulse rate was.. 100 (taken by the med assistant)
when i first got in there and when i moved around abit and the doc
checked it and then it spiked up to 120 again.

also, he brought up the Holter test results again.. and im not sure,
but... are these life-threatening? he said they arent normal but also
not life-threatening, but ... seemed rather hesitant on saying it.
though, my cardio said those are all normal. wtf?

" ventricular ectopic activity consisted of 117 beats, of which, 2
were in couplets, 74 were single PVC's, and 41 were VE's.

Supraventricular ectopic activity consisted of 1 PAC. "

for the 24 hour holter.

are those life-threatening? is this ormal for all in a 24 hour period?
what exactly are these VE's? and the others?
