Cardiac Dysrhythmia

I am a healthy 48 year old women.  I have had a heart murmur all of my life, not mitrovalve prolapse. It had been 15 years since I had seen a cardiologist and last year I was encourgaged to go in for a follow up visit since my OB heard the murmur and possibly an irregular heart beat.  The cardiologist took tests and I had a Holter Monitor.  This year I decided to try to change my insurance rate.  They put me in a higher risk rate because they said the doctor indicated that I had Cardiac dysrhythmia.  The doctor had told me everything was normal.  I got a copy of my chart to see my results.  The results said my heart rate average was 70 with a minimum of 48 and peak at 133, occasional PVC's, total of 2,547, most were isolated.  Rare PAC's, total of 26. The term Cardiac dysrhythmia was not mentioned.  I have not spoken to my doctor yet, but does anyone know if this report sounds normal?   I'm just wondering if I should pursue trying to get a better insurance rate of just accept what the insurance company says.

Hello...

Looking at the results you posted, seem normal to me. The Dr diagnosed a Cardiac Dysrhythmia based on the premature beats that were picked up by the holter.

What type of murmur do you have? I think you should 1st speak to you Dr to clarify this diagnosis. If the diagnosis is only based on the ectopics seen on the holter, than I would definitely pursue getting a better insurance rate.

Good luck with this:)
