Is a seven second pause valid or meter malfunction?
I've worn Holters and event monitors where it turns out a lead had come loose, and nobody ever even commented on it - nor did the meter buzz or something to alert me to the situation.

@carbcounter A pause will be duly recorded by each of the leads still attached. A detached lead would simply stop recording signal and the record would reflect a stoppage....but only on that lead.

Delayed response website or my computer was failing.

According to the Electrophysiologist who appears to be pro patient, not procedure happy.

3 pauses/Don't recall any physical symptoms at all.
7.4 sec 8:20 pm
7.4 sec. 6:15 am next day
7.3 sec. 6:20 am next day also
Outcome after meeting with EP on the 19th, "Leadless" PM (capsule type) through the catherter and now i'm in afib, so an ablation once PM is inplanted.
