My husband woke up in middle of night with a pounding heartbeat that lasted over an hour. he said it's happened a handful of times. is it of concern?

See cardiologist: This kind of problem can be life-threatening and needs be evaluated ASAP. One needs to rule out systemic diseases which can cause the heartbeat problem should a cardiologic evaluation reveal nothing abnormal about the heart.
