I need 2 know more about Heart Disease!?
September 3rd, 2011
Okay, I have been having some problems with my blood pressure and pulse rate. I got sent home from work last night cause my pulse rate went up 2 155. I went 2 the dr. 2day and she put me on bed rest for a week and told me to come back next wed. She said I may have some type of heart disease( I think she said it is called S.E.T. disease) but Im not really sure. She is going to put me on a heart monitor next week. Does anyone know anything about a Heart Disease called S.E.T??? Heart Disease runs in my family so Im scared I may have it.

Do you mean "SVT"?
Supraventricular tachycardia, an abnormal heart condition.
STEMI?
Or elevate ST segment.
an ST elevated MI is the technical term for a heart attack so I doubt it’s that.
an elevated ST segment is indicative of poor oxygenation to the heart – maybe one of the coronary arteries becoming blocked.
I’m surprised the doctor didn’t get you hooked up to an ECG.
A little back ground: When you get an ECG it measures the hearts electrical health and transcribes that info as a wave form on graph paper. Certain parts of the wave are given a "letter" code termed :
PQRST… The P wave is when the atrium fires. The QRS wave is when the ventricals fire. and the T wave is when the heart is recovering. The QRS wave should return to neutral after firing.. so no electrical activity between the QRS and the T wave.. If you have an elevated line between the QRS wave and the T wave – this is a tell tale sign of poor oxygenation to the heart..
But, when you have poor oxygenation – you usually experience angina pain. Have you experienced any chest pain?
She doesn’t seem too concerned about it, so just take it easy and go back and get the ECG done – it will tell how the heart is doing.
Also elevate ST MI’s usually occur in older people over 55 or 60.
