Thanks @becky1024. You gave us more insights on problems lurking behind asymptomatic arrhythmia -- something more to ask our medical team about when we visit them. Having just lost a brother-in-law to cancer after years with a pacemaker, I can delve into the issues confidentially with his family -- which was not a promising option in the past. You give us a large measure of confidence that doctors can be found to help us manage the most mysterious illnesses, and I am glad your life has been saved by them. Martin

The SA Node is the heart’s natural pacemaker which is part of my Electophysiologist Doctor’s training. Any Heart Rhythm issues are their specialty. Because my heart birth defect is so rare, 1 in a million, there are only roughly 350 people in the United States that are born with this type of defect each year. I and my PCP had to do a lot of research into my life to even get an appointment with the top person in that field in my area. So if you have any doubts, get a second opinion from a doctor who specializes in this field not a regular cardiologist. Hope all goes well. @becky1024
