palpitations can be due to many causes (though not specific with chiari malformation). But in few cases heart defect may be associated with chiari malformation.
if you have such palpitations, you need to undergo a holter monitoring test to record any heart rhythum disturbances. If find any such abnormality, treatment depend on type of arrhythmia recorded.
