I am imaging you : Just had a cardiac catheterization for an arrhythmia possibly atrial fibrillation. All patient in ICU are monitor. No idea what happen to you. The only person able to answer the question is your cardiologist. Possibilities are premature atrial or ventricular contraction, run of tachycardia, or even a short run of transient a.Fib. Consult your cardiologist if you continue with the problem. Out icu?
