Upto 4 to 6 missed beats per minute after 65 years of age are acceptable but if they are more frequent then its need evaluation with the help of HOLTER MONITORING which is a 24 or 48 hrs ECG monitoring done with a portable device. Once the abnormal rhythm is detected then it should be treated accordingly.
Take Care
