Arrhythmia is any of a group of conditions in which the electrical
activity of the heart is irregular or is faster or slower than normal.
Arrhythmias can occur in the upper chambers of the heart, or in the
lower chambers of the heart. Arrhythmias may occur at any age. Some
are barely perceptible, whereas others can be more dramatic and can
even lead to sudden cardiac death.
Some arrhythmias are life-threatening medical emergencies and can
result in cardiac arrest.
