For those who don't know me, or may not know my story, it began in 1999 when I was diagnosed with Supra-Ventricular Tachycardia, followed by multiple EP studies and ablations, resulting in my first pacemaker in 2005. Over the years, the list of diagnoses grew to include A-Fib, V-Tach, Sick Sinus, Vaso-Vagal Syncope and most recently, Stage 3 Congestive Heart Failure.
