Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Abnormal heart rhythm in a cardiac patient has to be evaluated thoroughly. It might be a condition called as heart block and has to be intervened immediately. Consult a cardiologist and take serial EKG monitoring to check whether the heart rhythm is normal or not. In most cases it can be a transient skipped beat and no treatment is required. If in case of conditions like heart block you have to star on drugs like atropine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
