So I’ve been having a fluttering feeling in my chest and I’ve been trying to catch something for weeks. Finally felt it while running the ECG, But the question is, how accurate is it? I am scheduled to see a cardiologist, but I’m afraid it won’t be doing anything during my tests

    It is accurate as long as the signal quality is good. I don’t think there would be so much coincident that would make you get a misdiagnosis and chances the cardiologist will just do a ECG or 24 hour holter just to be sure.

        Yeap. Some can even do a 48 hours one.

        Not a medical expert but I guess you are looking into PVCs is it? If so, the cardiologist will do a 24 hour ECG and tell you in the 24 hours, how many percentage of your heart beat is normal and how many aren’t. Then with the percentage tell if you need further treatment or not.
