It's a family affair....

Today, my sister, Suzanne in NY, went for an EPS (ElectroPhysiologic Study). Within seconds of starting the test, her Electrophysiolgist knew she has the same condition as me...Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia. Tomorrow she will be equipped with an ICD.
I am extremely releaved, which might sound weird. Why? She has shown symptoms for a few years. The first Cardiologist was not concerned, even with my history. Although my AZ dr was willing to see her, it was put on hold until recently when she felt more occurrences. A new cardiologist encouraged her to see a specialist...thank God. With this under our belts, maybe it will empower Sheri (my other sister)when visiting her dr.
Listen to your body and your intuition...and your little sister! :)
