A member asked:
Do angiotensin receptor blockers affect heart rhythm? how often do you need to do ekg when on them? they list "palpitations" as side effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ARBs help at bettering heart arrhythmia like A Fib. The frequency of getting an EKG will depend on your doc's clinical judgement taking consideration your history and findings.

Do angiotensin receptor blockers lower heart rate? Ever since I started Valsartan I notice that my hr is lower by 3-5 beats when at rest. Not sure if that's because it dilates the coronary artery or just by chance due to exercise and weight loss?
