Glenn, I had a few runs of rapid heart rate for up to 12 months or so after my Maze. They only lasted 6- 10 beats and then stopped. I did have one episode where my heart rate went up to about 95 BMP for about 2 hrs. It was after I had an injection of prednisone and oral Rx for Levoquin(sinus infection). I called the pharmist and was told Levoquin and prednisone can sometimes cause some heart rate problems. I haven't had any more problems like that since.
All this to say if you have changed meds recently or started something new it might be related.
If this continues I would sure call the Dr. in Houston. Are you still wearing the event monitor?

Hang in Glenn. I can't tell you the number of strange beats I had the first year or so after my surgey.
