65 yo man with history of CAD and prior MI, HLD, HTN, ventricular tachycardia, and syncope was admitted earlier today evaluation of syncope and ventricular arrhythmias. He was recently discharged after a negative work-up for syncope which included the implantation of a cardiac monitoring device. It was interrogated at the OSH and per report the monitor read from yesterday: 40 seconds of VT and then bradycardia with a rate of 39 shortly thereafter corresponding with his symptoms. Overnight, the patient went into monomorphic VT on telemetry. The patient was found to be unresponsive. CPR was initiated, unclear if the patient had a pulse. Within one minute the patient returned to sinus rhythm. The patient does not report any symptoms prior to this episode. Currently, the patient feels presyncope and nausea, but denies chest pain. Patient is to be transferred to the CCU for catheterization and EPS.

eligible ages (years): 18.0-60.0, Fetal Arrhythmia Abnormality in Fetal Heart Rate or Rhythm Long QT Syndrome Normal subjects: normal, healthy adult women with uncomplicated pregnancies High-risk cohort: The primary criterion is diagnosis of serious fetal arrhythmia, which is defined as sustained low or high heart rate. Low heart rate, or bradycardia, and high heart rate, or tachycardia, are based on normative values for gestation (usually below 110 -120 beats/min, or above 160-180 beats/min). Intermittent bradycardia and tachycardia are also important to detect because these arrhythmias may become incessant over the course of pregnancy and have implications for patient management. Abnormal repolarization, such as long QT syndrome (LQTS), is another important class of arrhythmia. Fetuses with a family history of LQTS or a suspicious rhythm (low heart rate, intermittent AV block, or ventricular tachycardia) will also be studied The pregnant women subjects must by aged 18 or older. High-risk subjects cannot participate if their physician in consultation with the lead physician of the study does not grant permission for them to participate in the study due to risk of travel or other reason

65 yo man with history of CAD and prior MI, HLD, HTN, ventricular tachycardia, and syncope was admitted earlier today evaluation of syncope and ventricular arrhythmias. He was recently discharged after a negative work-up for syncope which included the implantation of a cardiac monitoring device. It was interrogated at the OSH and per report the monitor read from yesterday: 40 seconds of VT and then bradycardia with a rate of 39 shortly thereafter corresponding with his symptoms. Overnight, the patient went into monomorphic VT on telemetry. The patient was found to be unresponsive. CPR was initiated, unclear if the patient had a pulse. Within one minute the patient returned to sinus rhythm. The patient does not report any symptoms prior to this episode. Currently, the patient feels presyncope and nausea, but denies chest pain. Patient is to be transferred to the CCU for catheterization and EPS.

eligible ages (years): 16.0-999.0, Signs and Symptoms Persons with palpitations and no clear cause who are above the age of 16 years and who consent to the study will be included 2. Clear causes that should be excluded are true arrhythmia such SVT or VT or frequent premature atrial or ventricular contractions or any organic cause such as thyroid disorder, anemia (hg less than 11 g/dl) and obvious anxiety disorder 3. Arrhythmia can be excluded by an ECG showing sinus rhythm or sinus tachycardia during episodes or measurement of heart rate by a reliable method during symptoms showing regular heart rate less than 120 beats per minute. 4. Patient will be randomized to either PPI or placebo to be taken one table at night time 5. Patients will be provided with 2 weeks supply but will be evaluated at 10 days to see if symptoms improved 6. The two groups will be compared using statistical methods to see if there is difference in improvement Refusal to participate or sign consent form Frequency of symptoms less than 2 times per week Already taking PPI or H2 blocker
