I wore a ZIO patch for two weeks and had 18 instances of tachycardia, none of which seem to be related to increased exercise. They were very random some happening while I was exercising others while I was at rest. On the basis of that the cardiologist attempted to perform an ablation, but when they tried to kickstart a problem in my heart, nothing happened, therefore no ablation was necessary. I specifically as the cardiologist if there was a relationship between the Parkinson's in the tachycardia events. He was very clear in stating that there was no relationship. He said that we could control the events by using drugs if they became more bothersome, but he would recommend just living with them unless they became debilitating.

I must admit I know nothing about levodopa and crash carts. I do not take levodopa myself if that is of any help.
