Cardiac Dysrhythmias

Cardiac dysrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms caused by issues with the heart’s electrical system, which controls the heartbeat. They can result in the heart beating too fast, too slow, or irregularly. This can affect how effectively the heart pumps blood to the body. Some dysrhythmias may cause symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, or chest discomfort, while others might be unnoticed. They can occur temporarily or be a chronic condition. Causes include heart disease, electrolyte imbalances, medications, or stress. Treatment varies depending on the type and severity and may involve lifestyle changes, medications, or procedures to restore a normal rhythm.
