Yes. : When the heart rate is not restored to nl.Rate , it can go for complications like 1. Conversion into malignant arrythmias - means ventricular ones -- cause cardiac arrest &death within seconds to minutes of onset 2. Causes CHF as the muscle fibres are weaked 3. Blood pools inside h.Chambers, clots, breaks , goes to distant places - brain, coronaries, kidneys , intestines. Need to go to your pcp/cardiolo.
