If something interferes with the normal electrical conduction pattern of the heart, this occurs
A
pacemaker
B
ventricular contraction
C
arrhythmia
D
defibrillation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Heart rhythm problems (heart arrhythmias) occur when the electrical signals that coordinate the heart’s beats don’t work properly. The faulty signaling causes the heart to beat too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia) or irregularly.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most common type of arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation, which causes an irregular and fast heart beat. Many factors can affect your heart’s rhythm, such as having had a heart attack, smoking, congenital heart defects, and stress. Some substances or medicines may also cause arrhythmias.

Detailed explanation-3: -When you have heart block, there is interference with the electrical signals that usually travel from the atria to the ventricles. This is known as a conduction disorder. If the electrical signals can’t move from your atria to your ventricles, they can’t tell your ventricles to contract and pump blood correctly.
