Cardiac arrhythmias are disturbances in the normal rhythm of the heartbeat. An occasional palpitation or fluttering is usually not serious, but a persistent arrhythmia may be life threatening.
There are many different types of cardiac arrhythmias. The heart may beat too rapidly, known as atrial tachycardia, or too slowly, known as bradycardia, or it may beat irregularly. Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are common cardiac arrhythmias, which lead to an irregular and sometimes rapid heart rate.
