Just had a heart attack

While I was waiting to go into the angiogram, I was feeling my pulse... it was weird, there was three beats, then a gap, or three regular beats and a fourth straight after the third... was fascinating to listen to...

Apparently I'm weird because I wanted to watch the angio. They kept telling me that they "didn't need my help" :)

I was saying "how often do you get to see your insides?"

Cool. That sounds like a pretty classic 2nd Degree Type 1 Atrioventricular Block (also know as a Wenckebach block).

If the area of infarct impacts a part of the heart responsible for electrical conduction, stuff like that can absolutely happen, but it's not especially common.
