Just had a pacemaker checkup at the cardiologist . They said, " You had one episode of atrial fibrillation on the pacemaker interrogation. Otherwise, the readout was unremarkable". Is there anything to worry about. The Dr that did the check is not my regular cardiologist. He said to ask my regular Dr. about it. I see my regular cardiologist in about a month.

As GoodDog said, one isn't a big deal unless it lasted a long time. If you weren't paced, you probably wouldn't have even known about it.
Thank you

I appreciate your time. It was so short, I forgot about it till the Dr brought it up. If there is a next time, Iwill try and write it down.

One Episode

To say that you had one episode doesn't tell you much. However, if it was brief, one episode is absolutely nothing to worry about. Certainly, you'll want to discuss it with your doc, but unless it lasted for a long period of time, one brief episode is nothing to be concerned about.
Frankly, it sounds as though you are in great shape.
