In case anyone is curious, I had a follow-up phone call with the Cardiac Nurse today.

The Cardiology Consultant reviewed my results - quick turnaround!

I have atrial fibrillation, and they want to start me on a low-dose beta blocker called bisoprolol.

I asked a lot of questions and was satisfied with the answers they gave.

I'm making bits of this thread public, in case there are FediFolk who are curious.

It turns out that there are different types of 24-hour heart monitors.

There is something called an event monitor, where the patient presses a button when they experience symptoms, and then there's a type that records constantly.

I'm currently attached to a continuous monitor, so no button-pressing for me.
