On the 20th of this month, while at the PCP's office in the general waiting area, I felt a heart event that lasted about a minute, like usual, and immediately took the reading with my iPhone monitor. That was the one the cardiologist could see a few days later that showed an extra heartbeat. The PCP took a B-Type Natriuretic Peptide blood test before I left his office. It showed 145. The high end of normal is 100. This article explains the test: my.clevelandclinic.org
