Hello. My partner is 65 male(office work) 30lbs overweight and went to the doctor today witha 230 heart rate.  Tomorrow he is going to a cardiologist.  He also has 3 stents.  The doctor also had said that all other tests were fine.  What would cause a 230 heart rate and should we be concerned?...Thank you
