Macsen’s holter monitor results are in - he’s having multiple PACs. Premature atrial contractions (PACs) are beats which are initiated in the atria or upper chambers of the heart, prematurely, which cause the SA node (the natural pacemaker of the heart) to be interrupted. We think they are what is causing him to say his heart hurts. Alone his card says they are not a huge concern for her but coupled with his diminished function and his other symptoms he has she wants to change some things up.
His new meds aren’t helping as much as we hoped so we will be started 2, maybe 3 more. 1 will require hospitalization while they monitor him.
He meets his new local cardiologist a week from Monday so I guess we will find out more about it then. We are switching his local care from Pensacola to UAB. They are a bigger center with more resources.
His CHOP card wants us to begin the process for heart transplant
