Just out of curiosity, are you with the
University of New Mexico Exercise Program??

I put a couple words/phrases of your question into Yahoo
and came to a site with the exact question. Seems to be
a tough course.

Wondering if you are indeed taking this class if your instructor
put together some useful resources in your syllabus, if the
library has been helpful (tailored tours/introductions, user friendly web site, etc). Just curious. I see the library subscribes to MD consult and StatRef. Both are pretty good resources.

Anyways,
hope this helps...and good luck with this class if you are indeed taking it.

If not, well, the joke is on me.

Answer 2

I believe it can occur either way. I work with someone who had the same thing, she had an ablation and is totally fine now. Her heart rate would go up to near 200! After the ablation. no further problems. Have you tried Mayo Clinic? Try looking under WPW syndrome=may not be what you have but it's probably similar in how its treated. Look under arrythmias, or tachyarrythmia's. Good luck to you, you should be fine. I would even call your doctor's office, and ask them for more info, or what exactly the name is. They might have some info to give you, or a specific place where you can look.
