heart beats

Last Monday I had a haert catherization. The Dr told my wife that everything looked real good, but the bottom of my heart is beating slower than the rest of my heart. I am having a MUGA test on 1 April. No one has raelly told me anything about this condition. What can cause this? Is this a degeneradive disorter? The Dr. did say that my condition can be treated with medication and as a last resort a pacemaker. I'm just looking for information that can help me understand what my heart is doing.

Thank You


Tim Davis

Re: heart beats

Dear Tim, Please ask your Doctor these questions. I know sometimes they appear in a hurry, but it is your right to ask them. You can also ask their nurse. We don't have your records and even so, we cannot answer you question in this forum. Best of luck to you!
