Talking PACs and PVCs During My Latest EP Visit

Travis Van Slooten |November 17, 2016 | 20 Comments

pac-and-pvc-ecg

A few weeks ago I had my annual checkup with my local EP. He’s a terrific doctor and someone I thoroughly enjoy talking to. He’s always so gracious with his time and very easy to talk to. This last appointment was no different. Before my appointment with him I had an echo done. This wasn’t required as I had one last year but I demanded to have another one. I’m a bit of a hypochondriac and since I’ve been having […]

Life Has Been Good Lately

Travis Van Slooten |September 30, 2016 | 6 Comments

It’s been a while since my last post so I thought I would brush off the cobwebs on this blog and post an update! I’m happy to report that things have been going really well lately regarding my heart issues. I’ve had mostly good days than bad. The picture I’m using for this blog post summarizes perfectly how I’ve felt the past month or so. It’s been fantastic! A 25-Day Reprieve from My PVCs and PACs (and of course A-fib […]

Drum Roll Please…and the Heart Monitor Results Are…

Travis Van Slooten |August 20, 2016 | 44 Comments

About a month ago I wrote how I was undergoing another round of heart monitoring for my PVCs and PACs. Well I got the results back a couple weeks ago but I haven’t had time to update my blog until now. As I predicted, my 2-week monitoring period didn’t show anything concerning other than “occasional” PVCs and PACs. Everything looked great and I have nothing to worry about. I have to be honest, I was pretty upset; not at the […]

Another Round of Heart Monitoring

Travis Van Slooten |July 16, 2016 | 12 Comments

About this time last year I was four months removed from my ablation and was one month past my 3-month blanking period. My father had died a few weeks prior and I was having rampant and annoying PVCs and PACs. Dr. Natale’s office sent me a heart rate monitor just to be sure it wasn’t afib rearing its ugly head again (which I knew wasn’t the case) and also to be sure it was just benign PVCs and PACs. It […]

June 16th Marks My 10-Year Journey with Atrial Fibrillation

Travis Van Slooten |June 30, 2016 | 7 Comments

I’ve been meaning to get this post published since June 16th, the actual date of my 10-year anniversary with atrial fibrillation, but I’ve been busy so I’m a little late. On June 16, 2006 I was officially diagnosed with afib. I was 33 years old. I remember it like it was yesterday. How could I forget? It was Father’s Day, June 16, 2006, and I was just about to sit down with my wife and our 2 year-old daughter at […]
