Could a ventricular arrhythmia be seen in an xray or ekg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

VentricularArrythmia: A ventricular arrhythmia would be picked up on an ekg if it occurred while the tracing was being recorded. If the arrhythmia was intermittent it might be missed, in which case a holter monitor recording (sort of a continuous ekg) would be necessary. A ventricular arrhythmia would not be detected by an x-ray.
