Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Event monitor : Palpitations in soccer player or athletes can be benign or very serious. Ask your doctor for event monitor that you can carry for long time almost a month ( not 24 or 48 hour holter ) The monitor will detect the heart rhythm during the palpitations and based on the monitor findings and other information your doctor then can address your concerns and risks
