ARRHYTHMIA
WHAT IS ARRHYTHMIA ?
- Also known as Dysrhythmia

- is a concern with the pace or rhythm of the heartbeat

- an irregular rhythm during an arrhythmia

ETIOLOGY
- is an issue with the heart's rate or rhythm
- The heart may beat too fast, too slow
- Tachycardia -heart beats very quickly
- Bradycardia –heart beats very slowly
- Changes in heart tissue and operation as well as electrical signals that regulate heartbeat causes arrhythmia
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF
THE HEART
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS
- no apparent signs or symptoms
- can lead to life-threatening complications if left untreated
- Palpitations
- Anxiety,
- blurred vision,
- chest pain,
- difficulty breathing,
- fainting or near-fainting,
- foggy thinking,
- fatigue,
- sweating,
- weakness,
- dizziness,
- light-headedness

 CONCLUSION
The rate at which the heart beats can affect electrical stability or reflect autonomic equilibrium.
Arrhythmias may be aided by either tachycardia or bradycardia, depending on the substrate. If
the features of parasystole can be detected, the preferential occurrence of an arrhythmia during
bradycardia can indicate low risk. Electrical instability can be caused by an insufficient heart
rate response to sympathetic activation. Electrical instability can be caused by sudden changes
in heart rate and/or autonomic balance.
