It is highly likely: that the monitor was inaccurate. Even if it was accurate, unsustained VT in the presence of a normal heart is not worrisome at all. Discuss this with your health care professional if you are overly concerned about it. If you have a record of what is being called unsustained VT show it to a cardiologist or electrophysiologist for analysis. I'll bet it is artifact.
