mitoldies: abnormal heart exam ?

[Guest guest]

Im sure you remember I had spinal surgery recently. While in hospital i was

having alot of chest pain. ( I get arythmia once in awhile especially when

tired )

anyway they ordered a chest XRAY and ECG.

the chest Xray report says. There is prominence of the upper lobe pulmonary

vessels may represent pulmonary venous hypertension..

The ECG says : abnormal ECG, cannot rule out anterior infarct. under

impression it also says prolonged QT.

any idea what any of this means?

Thanks

-Dear , I can only answer about the prolonged QT, as I have this

intermittantly also. It just refers to a specific portion of the ecg

(it has QRST waves in each segment I think) and if the Q-T interval is

longer than usual if might make you vulnerable to certain other

dysrhythmic conditions such as tornedos de pointes. If you have it,

you are advised to stay away from a group of drugs- you can lookthis

rather lengthy list up on the internet. I know it includes propulsid,

erythromicin, that are used for gi dysmotility) Celia

This means you should probably check with a cardiologist if you don't have

one. Anterior infarct means damage to the front of the heart, but is does

say cannot rule our, so don't jump to conclusions. Please have it checked

out.

I have a question I am not sure if anyone knows the answer. If you have mito

does anyone know if you can also have Asperger's or does anyone know anything

about it thanks.

Aspergers is part of the Autism Spectra. There are many mito folks who have

some form of autism. It is not known how many with autism have mito, because

as Dr. Shoffner said when I asked, " we don't do muscle biopsies on someone

with autism). Many of the children are diagnosed with autism before any

thought is given to autism. My son could probably be diagnosed with

Aspergers, but as an adult, he has learned to fuction well within the

general population. I work with several students with aspergers and it can

look like other things such as ADD or OCD.
