What is an Arrhythmia (Abnormal Heart Beats)

An arrhythmia refers to an irregular heartbeat caused by improper electrical signaling within the heart. These irregular rhythms may result in the heart beating too fast, too slow, or inconsistently. While some arrhythmias are harmless, others can lead to serious health complications if left untreated.

Common symptoms include palpitations, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath and fainting spells.
Arrhythmias may be caused by conditions such as coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, heart muscle disorders, or previous heart attacks.
Treatment depends on the type and severity of the condition and may include medications, lifestyle modifications, or implantable cardiac devices like pacemakers.
