Medical Abreviations

Medical Abreviations:
On my discharge notes from the hospital it says “72 hour holter monitoring showed NSR (normal synus rythum) with 2xNCT and managed as probable new AF (atrial fibrillation)”

I’m trying to find out what 2xNCT refers to?

Could it be Narrow Complex Tachycardia?

I know nothing about it but found this link if it is this condition.

Thanks for that, it makes sense.

No worries. Don’t you just love hospital letters & all the abbreviations that we don’t understand
