Research Notes on Arrhythmia
An arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat. Arrhythmias can occur with a normal heart rate or a slow or fast heart rate. Some types of arrhythmias may be life-threatening if not properly treated. Types of arrhythmia include premature beats, atrial fibrillation, bradycardia and tachycardia.
Fast Facts:
- Symptoms may include fast or slow heartbeat, skipping beats, dizziness and chest pain.
- Treatment for arrhythmia may include medications, defibrillation or cardioversion and sometimes mplanting a temporary pacemaker to interrupt the arrhythmia.
- One study found that almost twice as many arrhythmias occur on Mondays as on the weekend.
