Her father had an arythmia. He had an implanted defibrillator but it never went off as long as he lived. She has already had the holter monitor.

A calcium score CT is pretty cheap and if its clean she is likely good. I think some places will do those for $100-200 cash. No insurance needed.


70 bucks at Lakeview. I don't know how much a calcium
score ct actually will show you though or what it means to heart health as it relates to your missus. Maybe those more informed can tell you. Nonetheless, that is pretty cheap if it is effecfive. Good luck amigo.

Jim - just read the full thread. If true VT, or suspected cardiac genetic issue - your choices are Houston Methodist, Mayo, and Cleveland Clinic. Have had a similar experience to yours and those three are the best at deep diagnosis, imaging, genetic screening. You want to go to an EP who sees rare/challenging arrhythmia daily, not once or twice a year. Good luck.
