Arrhythmias are deviations from the normal cadence of the heartbeat, which cause the heart to pump improperly.

Arrhythmias, atrial: Abnormal heart rhythm due to electrical disturbances in the atria (the upper chambers of the heart) or the AV node "relay station", leading to fast heart beats.
Full article >>>

Arrhythmias are caused by a disruption of the normal electrical conduction system of the heart. Normally, the 4 chambers of the heart (2 atria and 2 ventricles) contract in a very specific, coordinated manner.

Arrhythmias may cause you to feel premature beats, or you may feel that your heart is racing or beating too slowly. Other signs and symptoms may be related to diminished blood output from your heart.

Arrhythmias can be divided into 2 main groups: tachycardias and bradycardias. Tachycardias cause a rapid heartbeat, with over 100 beats per minute. Bradycardias cause a slow heartbeat, with less than 60 beats per minute.

Cardiac arrhythmias sometimes are classified according to their origin as either ventricular arrhythmias (originating in the ventricles) or supraventricular arrhythmias (originating in heart areas above the ventricles, typically the atria).

Some of the most dangerous arrhythmias are those that affect the ventricles - the large muscular chambers of the heart. Ventricular arrhythmias can cause sudden death in someone who appeared previously fit and well.

Betapace AF can cause life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias; therefore, it should be reserved for patients in whom AFIB/AFL is highly symptomatic.

Hyperkalemia can result in abnormal beating of the heart (cardiac arrhythmias). Low serum potassium (hypokalemia) occurs when serum potassium falls below 3.0 mM.

Various arrhythmias can be symptoms of serious heart disorders; however, they are usually of no medical significance except in the presence of additional symptoms.

Can result in cardiac arrhythmias and death. Normal blood potassium should be in the range of 3.8 to 5.0 milliequivalents per liter. Hypokalemia can occur secondary to a drug side effect, vomiting, or excessive diarrhea.
