At 9 months post maze I am still experiencing problems in the way my heart responds to excercise. I run 4 to 5 miles per day and in an attempt to train my heart I programmed my treadmill to change speed every minute between 6 & 8 MPH. Using a monitor I have notice that occasionally my heart rate drops when the speed increases and vice-versa. This is becoming less frequent as I recover but is still annoying. I am in NSR without meds. So given the other posts this may be a normal recovery artifact.
