What are the different types of heart rhythm problems? However, if PVCs occur too frequently (more than several times per minute), the heart is unable to pump an adequate volume of blood to the body, which can cause symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, palpitations, or low blood pressure. Other types of rhythm problems can have similar effects. Problems may occur when the heart beats too fast, too slow, or with an irregular rhythm. But whether the heart is beating too fast, too slow, or too irregularly, the effects are often the same as one or more of those described above.

Premature Ventricular Complexes - PVCs Most people with PVCs have no symptoms at all. They simply don't feel them. However, a substantial minority of people with PVCs will perceive palpitations — an unusual awareness of the heart beat. These palpitations are often described as skipped beats or a pounding heart.. In some people, these symptoms can be difficult to tolerate.

Overview Arrhythmias may not cause any signs or symptoms. In fact, your doctor might find you have an arrhythmia before you do, during a routine examination.

Diagnosing and Treating Heart Rhythm Problems Slow Heart Beat (Bradycardia). An abnormally slow sinus heart rate is called the “sick sinus syndrome” and, if severe, results in symptoms of fatigue. In some such cases a permanent pacemaker is needed to be implanted to generate a normal heart rate. Many people with sick sinus syndrome also develop atrial fibrillation.

When the heart beats too fast, too slow, or with a skipping (irregular) rhythm, a person is said to have an arrhythmia. A change in the heart's rhythm may feel like an extra-strong heartbeat (palpitation) or a fluttering in your chest.Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) often cause this feeling.our heart normally beats in a regular rhythm and rate that is just right for the work your body is doing at any moment. The usual resting heart rate for adults is between 50 to 100 beats per minute.

Arrhythmias (Heart Rhythm Disorders) A heart rhythm disorder is an abnormal variation from the normal heartbeat. Heart rhythm disorders involve abnormalities of one or more of the following: heart rate, regularity of beats, sites where electrical impulses originate, or sequence of activation of heartbeats. Heart rhythm disorder is also referred to as an arrhythmia. The primary function of the heart is to supply blood and nutrients to the body. The regular beating, or contraction, of the heart moves the blood throughout the body.

Treatment The underlying cause of any heart rhythm disorder provides the basis for selecting the best treatment plan. In general, the best treatment is the least invasive option that effectively controls the heart rhythm disorder. Lifestyle Changes – Since other heart disorders increase the risk of developing abnormal heart rhythms, lifestyle changes often are recommended. Living a “heart healthy” lifestyle can ease the symptoms experienced with heart rhythm disorders and other heart disorders, and can be beneficial to overall patient health.
