Cardiac Dysrhythmia
Cardiac dysrhythmia, or arrhythmia, refers to an irregular heartbeat caused by disruptions in the heart's electrical system. This can result in the heart beating too fast, too slow, or erratically. While some arrhythmias are harmless, others can lead to serious health issues, including stroke or heart failure. Symptoms may include palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest pain. Treatment varies depending on the type and severity, ranging from lifestyle changes and medications to more advanced procedures like pacemakers or ablation to restore a normal heartbeat. Regular check-ups can help manage the condition effectively.
