I did an EKG, Holter Monitor, and echocardiogram, and all turned out to be normal, so I should have a pretty healthy heart. I attached a screenshot ...

My cardiologist tells me that I have a slight murmur, some sporadic PVCs, and a touch of well treated high blood pressure. What I am concerned about is the length of the obstructions, some that are 30-40 seconds long ...

Re: Serious issues after 25 years of CPAP

here is a screen shot heart rate during a sleep study where AFIB occurred from 2300 hrs and ended at 0300 hours. The cardiologist was NOT alarmed.
