atrial fibrillation
"Diagnosed Wolff Parkinson White syndrome at 17.  Experienced 3 to 5 serious attacks of uncontrollable supraventricular tachycardia per year until 35.  At 35 went to ER with ragged variable pulse up to and over 400 bpm for two days.  Diagnosed as afib.

Underwent some experimental ablation at Cedars the third day and Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome disappeared.  Q wave stopped reading inverted. 

Now I have afib.  Several failed ablations and some shock work changed nothing.  For the next 30 years just suffered with 6 to 8 severe afib events per year.  Finally got medicare and treatment.  Simply, Sotalol, 80mg/12hrs has relieved me of knee buckling afib events.  I am in afib almost all the time but hardly severe enough to affect my routine."
