Ventricular Arrhythmias

Ventricular arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms originating in the heart's lower chambers (ventricles). These irregularities can cause the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly, potentially affecting blood flow. They may result from heart disease, electrical problems, or other factors. Some ventricular arrhythmias are harmless, while others can lead to serious complications like fainting, heart failure, or sudden cardiac arrest. Treatment depends on the type and severity and may include medications, devices like defibrillators, or procedures to restore normal rhythm. Prompt diagnosis and management are important to prevent serious outcomes.
