Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had open heart surgery In November for asd closure. I m still havering irregular heart beats and flutters almost hourly. My surgeon thinks it s because they cut open my heart and it would just be my heart finding new signal paths, but it has not improved in several months. My regular doctor took a ekg and my ventricles are beating before my atrial on occasions so it sends my heart into a jitter. How long this last for, and when should I take this more seriously?
