Article Excerpts about Cardiac arrhythmia
An arrhythmia is a change in the regular
beat of the heart. The heart may seem to skip a beat or beat irregularly or very
fast or very slowly.
(Source: excerpt from NHLBI, Arrhythmia: NHLBI)
Most people have felt their heart beat very fast, felt a fluttering in
their chest, or noticed that their heart skipped a beat. Almost everyone
has also felt dizzy, faint, or out of breath or had chest pains at one
time or another. While these experiences of heart arrhythmias (a
change in the regular beat of the heart) can create anxiety, they are, for
most people, harmless. As adults age, they are more likely to get
arrhythmias. Only a very small number of people have arrhythmias that are
dangerous. Don’t panic if you have a few flutters or your heart races once
in a while. If you have questions about your heart rhythm or symptoms,
talk with your health care provider. (Source: excerpt from HEART AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: NWHIC)
