What puzzles me is how they can tell she died of an irregular heartbeat without some kind of monitor on her at the time of death. Even if she had a history of arrhythmia, how would they determine it had caused her death?

That has been my question all along. How do you determine unusual rhythm in something which is at rest? (Maybe that's the unusual rhythm they are referring to.)

I believe enzymes are released into the bloodstream during the event. These enzymes can be detected postmortem.
