my brothers heart is out of sinc. They zapped 3 times today and said they couldnt do anymore. Can he live a normal life with it out of sinc?

Thanks to all of you for your info on heart zapping. helps me to know that meds will help. I'm sure my brother will do good he is already on meds for this problem and hopefully they work. thanks again.

My mother in law had heart napped years ago and is doing just fine with no problems. My husband has a rapid heart beat is on medication and does fine also.

hi. my mother was zapped it only lasted 3 months...now she takes atenol to control her atrial fibrallation & cartia (aspirin) to prevent blood clots forming, doctors told us you can live with a heart out of rhythm as long as its not going fast, more than 100bpm. the atenol keeps her heart under 90bpm

also my heart is out of rhythm too I have SVT, had it for 11 years. I manage it with vagal manoevres or it stops on its own
