Was anyone's LO diagnosed with this? I was just on my way out the door and the NICU Dr. called to tell me, one of my boys was just diagnosed with it. He had a few episodes this morning of his heart rate going over 300 
. They're starting him on medication for it in hopes that it helps. They had to shock his heart to get it back to normal because nothing else was working. I'm so upset. Leland has had so many battles so far.

Re: super venticle tachycardia?
DS had some similar episodes of his heart rate going over 250-260
It's so scary. Is he on caffeine for apnea/brady spells? They found out that the caffeine was what was causing my DS's heartrate to sky rocket. Once they took him off it - it took a few days to work out of his system and he had a few more high rate episodes, but they went away once it was all worked out.
