Had Heart Attack, Done Bypass,heart Racing During Night, Put Mobile Heart Monitor. Suggestion?
My husband is 66 yrs. old and has had two heart attacks, one 21 yrs. ago the second 16 yrs ago. He had a quadruple bipass a yr. and a half ago and has done very well.. Yesterday morning he said his heart had been racing during the night and that it had flutters that lasted a second or two for the last month. (He had not told me about these) He called his cardiologist and they put a mobile heart monitor on him for 24 hrs. He took it back today but being the weekend we won't hear anything until Mon. Do you have any ideas what these could be and how worried I/we should be? Thank you. Sue Pennington my e-mail is YYYY@YYYY

HI
Your husband has history of coronary arterial graft (twice) in later years of life, patient should be in regular follow up for cardiac status assessment, because developing of fresh cardiac pathology is more likely, now here the Left ventricle function of your husband's heart might have affected, (LVF), and the most likely reason would be new coronary artery block, or cardiac mayopathy, have words with cardiologist, take care of your husband, Bye
