A member asked:
Experienced few flutters with exercise. would a clear ecg read by a cardiologist be enough to exclude life threatening conditions. (e.g, arvd, hcm)?

Cardiology Consult: 21 year old gentleman experiencing possible arrhythmia with exercise. An EKG is a good start in this case but referral to a specialist in Cardiology is a good idea. A stress test and hotter monitor are more accurate in detecting arrhythmia that may be brought on by exertion. Echocardiography and or imaging usually employed to diagnose other disorders but they do have EKG signs experts recognize.

When running experienced few heart flutters. Getting seen by cardiologist. I have heard of conditions like HCM, ARVD which cause death. Is this likely?
Few heart flutters when running. Getting seen by cardiologist. Scared it might be HCM or ARVD. In your experience, do these concerns turn out benign?
Are all cardiologists aware of conditions such as (HCM, ARVC?)... if a cardiologist says echo and ecg are normal... am I clear?
Am young. normal ecg. I have read about ARVD, and now everytime i get palpitations i think i have ARVD. No family history. I read about it online?
Heartbeat feels like it skips beats or fluttering in chest. Had EKG, chest X-ray and full blood panels all normal. PCP doesnt want to refer to cardiologist for Holter monitor due to history of health anxiety. Should I push to see one anyway?
