📋Overview
Arrhythmia involves disruptions in the electrical signals that coordinate heartbeats, leading to a heart rate that may be irregular, abnormally rapid, or excessively slow. These electrical disturbances can originate in different chambers of the heart and vary in their clinical presentation.
This broad category of heart rhythm disorders includes specific conditions such as atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, and tachycardia. While some instances are brief and may not significantly impact cardiac function, others can interfere with the heart's ability to pump blood effectively throughout the body.
