**Cardiac Arrhythmia** is a condition in which the part of the **heart** that is responsible for regulating the heart rate works abnormally.. The normal heartbeat is normally controlled by a group of electrical cells in the upper part of the heart.. These parts cause a **cardiac arrhythmia.. Arrhythmia**... What is an arrhythmia in the heart?... In cardiac arrhythmia, the heart's electrical system works abnormally and beats The heart may be too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregular. Some types of arrhythmias may be harmless, and in some cases, cardiac arrhythmias can cause symptoms such as weakness, weakness, pain, and chest discomfort. Arrhythmias Heart arrhythmias can be managed and treated. And the management of arrhythmia is usually performed by conducting electrophysiology tests, electrography (ECG) and other diagnostic tests, such as the echotype stress test. **Cardiac arrhythmia** may appear in different ways.. Below are some of the **common types of cardiac arrhythmia**: - **Sinus arrhythmia**: In this type of arrhythmia, the sinus node, which is responsible for regulating the heart rate, does not work properly.. This type of heart arrhythmia can cause an increase or decrease in the heart rate... Bradycardia, the heart rate becomes very slow, usually less than 60 times, it causes a decrease in fat. This type of arrhythmia may be a bit dangerous and requires immediate treatment to prevent serious problems like cardiac arrest.... - Ventricular fibrillation: This is a **dangerous type of arrhythmia** that causes the heart to beat fast and irregularly.... If ventricular fibrillation occurs, the heart rate is not regulated effectively and this can lead to cardiac arrest and worsening of the heart muscle. The type and ** its severity is arrhythmia** and must be determined by a cardiologist.... Symptoms of cardiac arrhythmia Symptoms of cardiac arrhythmia may vary and depend on the type and severity of the arrhythmia.. In some cases, cardiac arrhythmias can be asymptomatic and detected by an electrophysiological ECG or EKG test, but in other cases, signs and symptoms may appear, including: - Irregular heartbeat: An incomplete or irregular heartbeat, especially in conditions such as double fibrillation or tachycardia, may be a sign of arrhythmia. It can cause dizziness or a feeling for the brain. - Pain or discomfort in the heart: In some cases, arrhythmia may cause pain or discomfort in the type and type of symptoms in the heart area. and proper treatment is started.... the cause of arrhythmia or arrhythmia **Cardiac arrhythmia** can be caused by various reasons and its cause may be diverse.... Some of the common causes of cardiac arrhythmia are: - **Heart diseases**: Some heart diseases such as heart failure, heart ischemia (coronary block), various heart inflammations and other heart disorders can lead to arrhythmia... - **Metabolic diseases**: Some metabolic diseases such as diabetes and hypothyroidism can cause arrhythmia... - Physical activities or rest: intense physical activities or, on the contrary, Long-term rhythm may cause arrhythmia... - **drug use**: drug use such as alcohol, stimulants and some drugs can cause **arrhythmic effects**... - **change in electrolytes**: disturbance in the level of electrolytes such as potassium, sodium and calcium in the blood may cause electrical imbalance in the heart... - **damage to the heart muscle can lead to cardiac events** arrhythmia... - **complications Side effects of drugs**: Some drugs may affect arrhythmia.... These drugs include **anti-arrhythmic drugs**, blood pressure drugs, anti-anxiety drugs and other categories of drugs..- **Genetics**: Some types of cardiac arrhythmia may appear as a family as a genetic trait in families and due to the presence of genetics in family members....- **Age and conditions related to aging**: With increasing age, factors such as changes in the muscles and heart tissue, stiffness of blood vessels and changes in the nervous structure facilitate the development of arrhythmia... Also, many people with cardiac arrhythmia do not have symptoms and arrhythmia is diagnosed randomly or during electrophysiological tests.. ### **irregular heartbeat risk factors** The risk factors of cardiac arrhythmia can be diverse and depend on the type of arrhythmia and the individual's condition. Some of the common risk factors of cardiac arrhythmia are: - Heart diseases: heart diseases such as heart failure, heart ischemia and inflammatory heart diseases can be added to the risk factors of arrhythmia.. - High blood pressure: high blood pressure can have a direct relationship with the occurrence of heart arrhythmias, especially double fibrillation arrhythmia... - Diabetes: diabetes can be one of the risk factors for heart or heart disorders.. People who are overweight are more at risk of heart disease. Arrhythmia... - Improper or excessive physical activities: Improper or excessive physical activities may add to the risk factors of arrhythmia... - Drug use: Drug use such as alcohol and stimulants may be associated with cardiac arrhythmias. Genetics and family history: There is a history of arrhythmia in the family. Appropriate measures to control these factors can be effective in preventing the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias. Also, if there are symptoms and special conditions, you can consult a doctor and perform special tests. It will be helpful. The diagnosis of this disease is based on an examination by **the best cardiac arrhythmia specialist**, a person's medical history, and various diagnostic tests. Some of the standard tests for diagnosing cardiac arrhythmia include the following: **Electrocardiography ECG or EKG:** A simple test that records an electrocardiographic strip of the heart.... This test can show the type and pattern of the heartbeat.... **Holter monitoring:** This test records the electrocardiography for 24 or 48 hours (or longer) and tells the doctor more about the test ***minor arrhythmia over time.. Electrodes are placed inside the heart. To study the electrical signals of the heart... this test provides the doctor with more detailed information about the location and cause of the arrhythmia.. **Imaging tests: Imaging of the heart** such as **Echocardiography** (Echocardiography) may help evaluate the structure and function of the heart and be effective in diagnosing the causes of heart disease that may lead to arrhythmia.. Diagnosis.... **Diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmia** requires the cooperation of the medical team.... Based on the results of these tests and additional information obtained from your medical history and physical examination, the doctor will make a definitive and planned diagnosis. Provides for management and treatment... Arrhythmias are arranged if necessary...
