Title: Experiences of cardiac syncope and pacemaker

Interviewee Carole Quinney (UK)
Episode 55
Year 2008
Duration 12:46
Shownotes    "Mrs. Carole Quinney, 44, is an Aromatherapist and studying Sports Massage in college. She has suffered occasional blackouts over the past few years- about 6 or 7 in total. After several trips to see various GPs, she was referred to a neurologist. In February 2007 she saw a Neurologist who referred her onto Cardiology and Gastroenterology. In May 2007 she went into the Cardio Day Unit for a Tilt Table Test. Everything was fine for 9 minutes after having 2 squirts of Nitro Glycerine. At this point her heart rate rose to 145/minute then dropped below 60. Her blood pressure fell to below 70 systolic and the pulse rate continued to fall until her heart stopped and they terminated the test. After this she was told that she needed an immediate operation to put a pacemaker in. Now she is doing everything she did before the operation."
