A member asked:

30 xtrabeats in 48 hours, doc said were normal, does that mean they were going through the av node or is ectopic beats directly to ventricles?

Extra beats: cannot tell without an electrophysiology study to MAP the electrical activity of the heart. But as your heart doctor told you it is normal and nothing to worry about. Wondering why you had a holter study to begin with? If it was normal and one is trying to determine cause of irregular or rapid heart beat, may need further evaluation.
