A member asked:

I have a pacemaker for bradycardia but over the past two months my pacemaker has been reading a high rate of atrial tachycardia should i be worried?

Monitor: To know what your pacemaker is recording, you must be seeing your doctor to have the device interrogated. You should ask your doctor the meaning of the rhythms that the device is recording and whether anything else is needed.
