Arrhythmia symptoms
When a person talks about arrhythmia symptoms they are having they are talking about symptoms that are caused by a heart rate or heart beat that is abnormal. A normal heart rate is 70 beats per minute.
Arrhythmias (Abnormal Heart Rhythms)
This leaflet explains the heart's conduction system. It briefly describes some common problems of the heartbeat and heart rhythm (arrhythmias).
Arrhythmias (also called disrhythmias) are abnormal heartbeats usually caused by an electrical "short circuit" in the heart.
Arrhythmias
What is an arrhythmia?
An arrhythmia (also called dysrhythmia) is an abnormal rhythm of the heart, which can cause the heart to pump less effectively.

Arrhythmia
The heart is the chief organ of the cardiovascular system. It is a muscle that is responsible for pumping blood to all parts of the body. The heart is divided into four chambers: two atria and two ventricles.
Is an arrhythmia serious?
In most people, arrhythmias are minor and are not dangerous. A small number of people, however, have arrhythmias that are dangerous and require treatment.
About Arrhythmia
Heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias) occur when there is a malfunction in the electrical impulses to the heart that coordinate how the heart beats. During arrhythmia, the heart beats too fast, too slowly or irregularly.
About arrhythmias
The heart
Your heart pumps oxygen-rich blood through a network of blood vessels (the arteries) to tissues including organs, muscles and nerves, all around your body.
What is Arrhythmia?
Arrhythmia is a condition characterised by the hearts failure to contract or beat at the correct time. Some people are able to feel an arrhythmia when it happens, while others cannot.

Arrhythmias may be caused by many different factors, including:
Coronary artery disease.
Electrolyte imbalances in your blood (such as sodium or potassium).
Changes in your heart muscle.
Injury from a heart attack.

Not all abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) are dangerous. In fact, an abnormal heartbeat is a common occurrence.
Arrhythmias in Children
Children's heart rates normally decrease as they get older. A newborn's heart beats between 95 to 160 times a minute.

Heart arrhythmia and palpitations
Depending on a person's age and level of fitness, the heart beats (on average) between 60 and 100 times every minute. Almost everyone experiences a palpitation occasionally.
Cardiac Arrhythmias
The beating of your heart is very organized, taking its cue from a built-in electrical system. A normal heart rate is regular, at 60 to 100 beats per minute.
Arrhythmias may be symptom-less.

Arrhythmias are fairly common. Most people have had at least one experience where it feels as if the heart has skipped a beat, or has given an unexpected flutter. For many, the experience is usually not cause for concern.

An arrhythmia is a disruption in the regularity of the heartbeat. Arrhythmias are actually quite common; many people are living with an arrhythmia and they are totally unaware of it.
Cardiac arrhythmias sometimes are classified according to their origin as either ventricular arrhythmias (originating in the ventricles) or supraventricular arrhythmias (originating in heart areas above the ventricles, typically the atria).

Arrhythmia. An arrhythmia is an abnormal heart rhythm — that may be felt as a fluttering in the chest — resulting from a disruption in the electrical activity of your heart. Arrhythmias range from mild to life-threatening.

An abnormality of the rhythm of the heartbeat

Arrhythmias
While life-threatening rhythms are more common in ischemic versus nonischemic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia imparts a significant burden in all forms of heart failure. In fact, some arrhythmias even perpetuate heart failure.
Arrhythmia: An abnormal heart rhythm. In an arrhythmia the heartbeats may be too slow, too rapid, too irregular, or too early. Rapid arrhythmias (greater than 100 beats per minute) are called tachycardias.

Cardiac arrhythmias
The normal cardiac rhythm is called "sinus rhythm" and the normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute. An arrhythmia occurs when the heart beats irregularly or abnormally slow (bradycardia) or fast (tachycardia).
