Topic Details



Arrhythmia
Arrhythmia is any disorder or abnormality of a person’s heart rate or heart rhythm, such as beating too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregularly. Normally, the 4 chambers of the heart (2 atria and 2 ventricles) contract in a very specific and coordinated way. The electrical impulse that signals the heart to contract in that coordinated way is the heart's natural pacemaker. Problems can occur anywhere along the heart’s conduction system, causing various arrhythmias. More information on arrhythmias is provided in our Heart Disease/Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Section.
