| Description |
Arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, is a major medical problem for four million Americans. The timing of the heart's pumping is controlled by spontaneous electrical impulses traveling through the heart. Occasionally, these impulses fire too quickly or travel in circles. These abnormal rhythms can cause fainting, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, or stroke. Some patients with arrhythmia are at significant risk of sudden cardiac death. |
