Sound exotic? In French it means 'twisting of the peaks' but it's not a mystical location somewhere in the alps. It's the name of a potentially fatal heart arrhythmia which happens to be the
worst-case side effect of the latest medication. For this reason Ben's having a precautionary ECG today, the third ECG since starting on the new meds. The unpleasant side effect of the old medication is gradually disappearing. The
potential worst-case unpleasant side effect of the new is far worse, but thankfully rare. Thus far, the new meds are working well and ECG results show no cause for concern.
