Guest guest Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 a, vin or Rhodeola Rosea is a herbal that is an anti-arythmic. I also have arythmia, mvp, and mr and recently got an echo and treadmill test done. Although I had no arythmia at my last test a year ago, my cardiac performance was better this year with the arythmia (i.e.- I was able to stay on the treadmill longer and maintain a heart rate of 165). I believe the majority of cardiac related CFS deaths are due to blood coagulation problems which afflict maybe 50% of PWC's. If you have a coag. problem it is something that can be controlled (if we are to believe the Hemex/Berg theory). I can understand your fear given your blackouts. I think you have to keep trying to find a physician that will take your cardiac symptoms seriously. An echocardiagram and stress treadmill test will clearly show your abnormalities and I think you have to keep trying to find a doc who will perform these tests. Steve B.
