heart attack or angian?
Hi XXXXXXX,
Welcome back to Healthcare Magic Physician's Desk!
In 15yrs old person heart attack or angina are very negligible in probability and can be picked up on ECG anytime, do not need Holter.
Arrhythmias are the problems of the way your heart beats/makes pulse.
Normally it is 60-100 beets/minute. In arrhythmias the beats may be shallow, fast or irregular with other variations as well.
Wish you a great health!

How long would heart beat erratic?
Hi XXXXXXX,
Welcome back to Healthcare Magic Physician's Desk!
The arrhythmias can be self limited or may continue to recur, basically it depends on the cause of arrhythmia, if it can be corrected then arrhythmia would also get solved.
Wish you a great health!
