Chapters 00:00 - Case Presentation and Question 04:02 - Correct Answer Revealed and Explanation A 25-year-old woman with a history of postpartum complications, compensated heart failure, and autoimmune disease reports brief, intermittent episodes of rapid, irregular heartbeats detected by her smartwatch for two months. These episodes occur after certain triggers and are not captured on standard monitoring. During a clinic visit, an irregular pulse is briefly noted. What diagnostic strategies can help pinpoint the underlying arrhythmia and guide further management in this complex clinical scenario?
