After having PAC/PVC's for over 10 years, I was recently diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation that showed up on the Zio Patch monitor that I had for 2 weeks. It records every heartbeat and has a button you can press if you experience certain symptoms, which I did a lot, and then write down the time and date you pressed the button in a booklet that comes with it. The best thing about it is that it's wireless and you can shower without having to remove it. You hardly even know it's there
