A member asked:
Would a stress test, echocardiogram, or an ekg detect if you have an arrhythmia if they aren't looking?

Yes: You may note an irregular rhythm on any of these tests. When specifically searching for an arrhythmia, other tests may be superior.

Maybe: Only if they were lucky enough to be looking at the time. A holster monitor would be a better choice to monitor and record cardiac activity over a period of time.
