Cardiac arrhythmia

Cardiac arrhythmia refers to an irregular heartbeat, which means the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or in an uncoordinated manner. This condition can result from issues with the heart's electrical system, which controls the heartbeat. While some arrhythmias might be harmless and cause no symptoms, others can lead to serious complications, including stroke or heart failure. Symptoms can include palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest pain. Diagnosis usually involves electrocardiograms (ECGs) or heart monitoring, and treatment can vary from lifestyle changes to medications or procedures to restore a normal heartbeat.
