What Is an Arrhythmic Heart Condition?

Arrhythmia is when the heart beats irregularly due to malfunctioning electrical impulses that control the heartbeat. This problem can result in the heart beating too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or erratically. The severity of arrhythmias can vary, with some being harmless and causing minor palpitations, while others may require urgent medical care.

What Are the Types of Arrhythmias?

Arrhythmia refers to any abnormal heart rhythm, which can take several forms. Here are the main types of arrhythmia conditions our patients experience:

Tachycardia

When the heart beats more than 100 beats per minute, it may lead to dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath. Unless a person seeks treatment, it can also increase the risk of more serious heart conditions.

Bradycardia

Bradycardia occurs when the heart rate is abnormally slow, typically below 60 beats per minute in adults. This condition can cause symptoms like fatigue, fainting, or dizziness, as the heart cannot pump sufficient blood to the body.

Premature Contractions

These early heartbeats originate either in the atria (PACs) or ventricles (PVCs), creating a sensation of missed or extra beats that feel like palpitations. While often benign, frequent or severe premature contractions may need medical attention to rule out underlying issues.
