Arrhythmia (Health Care)

The heart beats when an electrical signal travels from the sinoatrial node—the heart’s natural pacemaker—to the heart. Arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, results when these electrical impulses are disrupted. Arrhythmia can be a minor problem, such as a short pause or premature heart beat that has no affect on a person’s overall heart rate. However, an arrhythmia that lasts for a long time can cause the heart to beat too slowly or too quickly. A normal heart beats 60 to 100 times per minute. Tachycardia occurs when the heart beats more than 100 times per minute, and bradycardia means the heart rate is less than 60 beats per minute.

Arrhythmia (Horse Health)

Any abnormal irregularity of the heartbeat caused by an electrical disorder in the heart.

Arrhythmia (Lymphoma)
