Arrhythmia can lead to cardiopulmonary arrest and death; otherwise, the symptom of arrhythmia can be subtle and intermittent.
It is the result of a disturbance that alters the transmission of electrical impulses within the heart affecting the normal rhythm or rate of the heartbeat.
The symptoms are primarily due to the hemodynamic effects to the cardiac rhythm disturbance.
Noticeable arrhythmia symptoms may include:
*A fluttering in your chest
*A racing heartbeat (tachycardia)
*A slow heartbeat (bradycardia)
*Chest pain
*Shortness of breath
*Peripheral vascular embolization
Dyspnea
*Acute neurologic deficits
*Lightheadedness or dizziness
*Sweating
Isolated or recurrent loss of consciousness (syncope) or near fainting
