What Causes Arrhythmia While Suffering From COPD?

Im scheduled for a Nuclear Injection on the 19th. Ive had 2 heart attacks, 2 stents, and I experience arrhythmia. I have C.O.P.D., emphysema, and a Family history of Dilated Cardiomyopathy. No swelling in legs, ankles, or feet. Im 58 years old. Possible liver disease, Hep C, or fatty liver. Is this test safe for me?

Hi,

Consult a cardiologist and get evaluated. You have to take serial ECG monitoring for further followup.

The arrhythmia may not be related to COPD.
