Holter: There are several possibile mechanisms for this condition. Swallowing may alter the autonomic tone , as can digestion. Atrial distension can result in fast heart beat after meals. Most experts recommend a holter 24 hour monitor to document the type of rhythm. If atrial, ablation may cure the condition.
