Arrhythmia is a condition where the heart beats irregularly too fast, too slow, or unevenly. It occurs due to disruptions in the heart’s electrical signals, affecting its ability to pump blood efficiently. Arrhythmias can be harmless or life-threatening, depending on the type and severity. Common types include atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and supraventricular arrhythmias.
