Cardiac arrhythmias are irregular heartbeats that can occur when the electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat are disrupted. This can cause the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or in an irregular pattern.
Some common types of cardiac arrhythmias include:
Cardiac arrhythmias can be caused by a variety of factors, including heart disease, electrolyte imbalances, medications, and stimulants such as caffeine or alcohol. Treatment for cardiac arrhythmias may involve medications to regulate the heartbeat, lifestyle changes to reduce risk factors, and procedures such as ablation or pacemaker implantation.
If left untreated, some types of cardiac arrhythmias can increase the risk of complications such as stroke, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, or shortness of breath.
