50
Premature (Extra) Beats Arrythmias
Premature beats are the most common type of arrhythmia. They're harmless most of the time and often don't cause any symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they usually feel like fluttering in the chest or a feeling of a skipped heartbeat.
51
Superventricular arrythmias
Supraventricular arrhythmias are tachycardias (fast heart rates) that start in the atria or atrioventricular (AV) node. The AV node is a group of cells located between the atria and the ventricles.
52
Ventricular arrythmias
These arrhythmias start in the heart's lower chambers, the ventricles. They can be very dangerous and usually require medical care right away. Ventricular arrhythmias include ventricular tachycardia (fast, regular beating of the ventricles that may last for only a few seconds or for much longer and ventricular fibrillation (electrical cells make ventricles quiver instead of pump normally) (v-fib). Coronary heart disease, heart attack, a weakened heart muscle, and other problems can cause ventricular arrhythmias.
53
Bradyarrythmias What happens?
Bradyarrhythmias occur if the heart rate is slower than normal. If the heart rate is too slow, not enough blood reaches the brain. This can cause you to pass out. In adults, a heart rate slower than 60 beats per minute is considered a bradyarrhythmia. can be caused by underactive thyroid, medictions, blood imbalances
54
