Just got off the phone to arrythmia nurse at the Brompton, my holter monitor was mostly sinus rhythm, with rare pac's and rare pvc's, burden of 0.1%....however one run 5 beats on 29th October of broad complex tachycardia....so I'm still none the wiser, 😂😂😂😂, not sure if that's serious or not.

Doesn't sound serious to me Juggsy. I'm sure many normal people would show something similar without even noticing. Thats the trouble with us AFers. Too darned sensitive to our hearts.

Think it's more the short run of vt really, although nurse was bit vague🤷🤷

VT not mentioned?

[Hidden in reply to BobD]

Yes the short run of broad complex tachycardia was from the ventricles they said

I’m still digesting it all but is sounds like normal a fib stuff, which isn’t very normal.

No afib detected, however a shirt 5 beat run of nsvt from bottom of heart so not afib related👍👍

What is a pvc? PAC? Sometimes my heart will be regular and then put out a double beat, then regular......then a double beat again.

Sometimes a skipped beat I think.

Thanks

PVC premature ventricular contraction. PAC substitute atrial.

Both known as ectopic beats or ectopics.
