What Causes Short Intervals Between Heartbeat?

Hi I have a home ECG monitor that I use only if I feel some changes in pulse, heart beat etc. I have had a couple of readings today indicating short beat intervals. I have had a stent inserted Nov 1 2015. I am Male, 61 years. 63 kgs. Very fit. Cheers Eugene

Hi,

I'd have to see the EKG. This could be an occaisional skip beat which is quite unlikely to be significant in most everyone to an electrical short circuit (wolf-parkinson-white) syndrome that can cause fatal arrhythmia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
