Le-Vel Thrive DFT & 8 Week Experience Review Please describe what type of heart rhythm disorder you have. I am a 44 year old female with paroxysmal, atrial fibrillation and bradycardia. I also have high blood pressure, diabetes type 2, asthma, and ischemic stroke. I wonder if an inherited heart condition started at birth can cause some of these conditions that are life threatening.

FACTS ABOUT ARRHYTHMIA/RHYTHM DISORDERS Types of Arrhythmia. There are many types of arrhythmias. Arrhythmias are identified by where they occur in the heart (in the atria or ventricles) and by what happens to the heart's rhythm when they occur. Arrhythmias that begin in the atria are called atrial or supraventricular (above the ventricles) arrhythmias. Ventricular arrhythmias begin in the ventricles. In general, ventricular arrhythmias caused by heart disease are the most serious. Premature beats are the most common type of heart arrhythmia.

Heart Diseases & Disorders Other arrhythmias include: 1  Premature Contractions. Extra, early, or “skipped” beats are the most common cause of irregular heart rhythms. 2  Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) Long QT Syndrome is a disorder of the electrical system. 3  Heart Block.

Arrhythmia Arrhythmia, both atrial (supraventricular) and ventricular are a common, and sometimes normal, activity of the canine heart. Concerns arise when the severity of arrythmias leads to life-threatening atrial of ventricular fibrillation. Types of arrhythmias include bradyarrhythmias (slow) and tachyarrhythmias (fast). These heart beat irregularities may be observed during routine electrocardiogram studies and are commonly observed during postural changes associated with routine anesthesia and many are thought to be non-pathological.

Heart Dysrhythmias, Irregular Pulse, Missed beats and Palpitations Disturbances of the pacemaker and conducting tissue cause a whole variety of heart dysrhythmias from the heart going too slow or going too fast, to missed beats, irregular beats, or a complete disassociation of heart activity such as atrial fibrillation or even ventricular tachycardias or fibrillations.

Cardiovascular Disease Types of cardiovascular disease includes angina, heart attack (myocardial infarction), atherosclerosis, heart failure, cardiovascular disease, and cardiac arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms). Other forms of cardiovascular disease include congenital heart defects, cardiomyopathy, infections of the heart, coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, myocarditis, and pericarditis.

Holiday Heart Syndrome The most common rhythm disorder is atrial fibrillation, which usually converts to normal sinus rhythm within 24 hours. Holiday heart syndrome should be particularly considered as a diagnosis in patients without structural heart disease and with new-onset atrial fibrillation.

Overview Doctors classify arrhythmias not only by where they originate (atria or ventricles) but also by the speed of heart rate they cause: 1  Tachycardia (tak-ih-KAHR-dee-uh). This refers to a fast heartbeat — a resting heart rate greater than 100 beats a minute.  Bradycardia (brad-e-KAHR-dee-uh).

What are the different types of atrial fibrillation (AFib)? Types of Atrial Fibrillation. Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation. In paroxysmal (par-ok-SIZ-mal) atrial fibrillation (AF), the faulty electrical signals and rapid heart rate begin suddenly and then stop on their own. Symptoms can be mild or severe. They stop within about a week, but usually in less than 24 hours.

Heart Disease: Types, Prevention & Treatments Another cause of heart disease is an arrhythmia, a condition where the heart beats too quickly (tachycardia), too slowly (bradycardia) or irregularly. Symptoms can include a fluttering feeling in the chest, racing heartbeat, slow heartbeat, chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, dizziness, fainting (syncope) or near fainting, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Heart Rhythm Disorders (Abnormal Heart Rhythms) Because of the heart rhythm abnormality, other symptoms may occur because of decreased cardiac output (the amount of blood that the heart pushes out to meet the body's demand for oxygen and energy). The patient may complain of lightheadedness, weakness, nausea and vomiting, chest pain, and shortness of breath.

Overview Common types of tachycardia include: 1  Atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is a rapid heart rate caused by chaotic, irregular electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (atria). 2  Atrial flutter. In atrial flutter, the heart's atria beat very fast but at a regular rate. 3  Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).

Abnormal Heart Rhythms and Pacemakers Bradyarrythmias, which are slow heart rhythms that may arise from disease in the heart's electrical conduction system (such as the SA node, AV node, or HIS-Purkinje system). Heart failure. This type of treatment is called cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) or biventricular pacing.

Abnormal heart rhythms An abnormal heart rhythm – sometimes called an arrhythmia – means your heart is beating too fast, too slow, or with an irregular pattern. Your heart has an electrical system that tells it when to beat and push blood around the body. If there is a problem with this system you may experience an abnormal heart rhythm. What are the symptoms of an abnormal heart rhythm? The symptoms of an abnormal heart rhythm depend on what type of arrhythmia you have. The most common symptoms of an abnormal heart rhythm include: palpitations (a thumping or fluttering sensation in your chest) dizziness

- Arrhythmias are abnormal heartbeats usually caused by an electrical short circuit in the heart. The heart normally beats in a consistent pattern, but an arrhythmia can make it beat too slowly, too quickly, or irregularly. This can cause the heart to pump inconsistently, leading to symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, and chest pain.

Heart Diseases & Disorders Heart Diseases & Disorders. Millions of people experience irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias, at some point in their lives. Most of the time, they are harmless and happen in healthy people free of heart disease. However, some abnormal heart rhythms can be serious or even deadly. Having other types of heart disease can also increase the risk of arrhythmias.

Arrhythmias An arrhythmia is an abnormality in the timing or pattern of the heartbeat. Some types of arrhythmia may not be serious. Other types may be of great concern because they can cause fainting, heart failure or even sudden death. If you think you have an arrhythmia, consult your doctor.

Overview Common causes of abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) or conditions that can lead to arrhythmias include: 1  Heart defects you're born with (congenital heart defects). 2  Coronary artery disease. 3  High blood pressure. 4  Diabetes. 5  Smoking.6  Excessive use of alcohol or caffeine. 7  Drug abuse.8  Stress.he cause of cardiomyopathy, a thickening or enlarging of the heart muscle, may depend on the type: 1  Dilated cardiomyopathy. 2  The cause of this most common type of cardiomyopathy often is unknown. 3  It may be caused by reduced blood flow to the heart (ischemic heart disease), infections, toxins and certain drugs.

Heart Disease and Abnormal Heart Rhythm (Arrhythmia) This is another type of fast heartbeat. It's caused by there being an extra pathway through a part of the heart called the AV node. It can cause heart palpitations, fainting, or heart failure. In some cases, you can stop it simply by breathing in and bearing down. Some drugs can also stop this heart rhythm.

- There are many different symptoms associated with cardiac arrhythmias or irregular heart rate. However, sometimes there are no symptoms at all and the arrhythmia is found incidentally. Some of the symptoms associated with cardiac arrythmias are heart palpitations, dizziness, light-headedness, and shortness of breath.

Heart arrhythmia Cardiac arrhythmia, also known as cardiac dysrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, is a group of conditions in which the heartbeat is irregular, too fast, or too slow. A heart rate that is too fast – above 100 beats per minute in adults – is called tachycardia and a heart rate that is too slow – below 60 beats per minute – is called bradycardia.
