What is an arrhythmia?
An arrhythmia is a change in the regular beat of the heart. The heart may seem to skip a beat or beat irregularly. It may beat very fast or very slowly. So it's basically all about the heart beat.
Are arrhythmias serious?
In some patients with serious symptoms, arrhythmias themselves are dangerous. It requires medical treatment to keep the heartbeat regular.
Some patients have a very slow heartbeat (bradycardia), causing them to feel lightheaded or lose consciousness. If left untreated, the heart may stop beating and cause death.
In others, who have a very fast heart beat, this may cause loss of consciousness due to drop in blood pressure. If untreated within six minutes it can cause sudden cardiac arrest.
