I had this experience 3 times--the first 2 my heartrate lowered on its own--the third time lasted 2 hours at 180 bpm--required a visit to ED and IV meds. I saw the cardiologist who put me on a beta blocker--they think no relation to Herceptin as my echo remains normal. I've been on Herceptin for 4 1/2 years. No further cardiac problems since starting on a beta blocker.
