Arrhythmia is a medical term used to describe an irregular heartbeat resulting from improperly functioning electrical impulses that, under normal circumstances, control a person’s heart rate. An arrhythmia may involve an accelerated heartbeat, a slower-than-normal heartbeat, or other irregular patterns. In some cases, an irregular heartbeat is harmless, but in other cases it may cause life-threatening symptoms.
Tachycardia is an arrhythmia defined by an elevated resting heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute. If such an arrhythmia occurs in the atria, individuals find themselves at greater risk for stroke. Bradycardia, on the other hand, involves a decreased heart rate of 60 beats per minute or less, and can lead to health conditions such as sick sinus syndrome.
Anyone who notices an unusual heart rate should discuss the issue with a physician, particularly if the arrhythmia is accompanied by other symptoms, such as chest pain or shortness of breath.
