Guest guest Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Hi Cheryl, There is more than one article, but several, plus DVDs. 2 good sources would be: the Dallas-Ft. Worth CFIDS Support group website and look up Dr. Cheney. I think the first item on DD is called " The Heart of the Matter " , followed by others. Another resource: The " ME Society of America " website, and look in their Cardiac section. I would suggest doing some studying of these first, before asking the doctor to. It is an unusual form of DD, and DD itself is not that old of a field. These tend to be the views of Cardiologists on DD, even *before* we get to the form of it in CFS: 1) Don't know about it, therefore it doesn't exist 2) Know about it, but it isn't serious 3) Know about it, it's serious, but nothing can be done, therefore will not take the time to learn about it. Then there's the matter of proper testing equipment, and getting a busy tech to do it with table tilted to several different degrees...to simulate lying, sitting, standing, etc. It's worth a try, but look through the material yourself first, imo.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 My understanding is that the tilt-table test is actually quite dangerous and can cause the heart to stop beating altogether in some PWME, requiring resuscitation. And there are other tests that will show this…but everything you said about the usual doc attitude is right on LOL! Aylwin xox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
