Angel Smith is a 28-year-old elementary school teacher and mother of two young children. She has always been active but recently started experiencing sudden, brief episodes where her heart would race and pound, accompanied by dizziness and a feeling of 'impending doom.' These episodes would last only 30-60 seconds and were unpredictable, happening while reading a bedtime story or grading papers. Her primary care doctor found nothing on a routine EKG. The cardiologist, Dr. Chen, explained that these sounded like paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) but were too fleeting to catch in the clinic. He recommended a Cardiac Event Monitor for 30 days, which Angel could activate during an episode to record her heart's rhythm. Wearing the monitor was a minor hassle, with adhesive patches irritating her skin, but she was diligent. Two weeks in, she captured a clear episode during a parent-teacher conference. The data confirmed PSVT. Emotionally, Angel moved from fear and frustration, worried she was imagining things or couldn't be there for her kids, to profound relief and validation. With a clear diagnosis, she underwent a successful catheter ablation procedure. A year later, she is symptom-free, coaching her daughter's soccer team, and feels back in control of her life and health.
