CT scan

My pacemaker stayed at the rate setting for two years after I received it. At that time I needed an MRI but couldn't have it due to my Pacemaker so they did a CT scan instead.. Since then ffor 8 months I have had Atrial Fiberlation full time with a heart rate from 85 to 127. Could the CT scan be responcible for ths change in heart rate. Thanks for any help I might receive.

A CT is just an xray, shouldn't have any effect on your heart rate or fibrillation. Sounds like a coincidence to me.
