PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. Your heart may beat too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular rhythm. It is normal for your heart rate to speed up during physical activity and to slow down while resting or sleeping.

Detailed explanation-2: -A heart arrhythmia (uh-RITH-me-uh) is an irregular heartbeat. 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-3: -Supraventricular arrhythmias, for instance, start in the upper chambers of the heart (the atria) and include atrial fibrillation (A-fib), Atrial Flutter, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), and Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome.

Detailed explanation-4: -Atrial fibrillation, often called AFib or AF, is the most common type of treated heart arrhythmia. An arrhythmia is when the heart beats too slowly, too fast, or in an irregular way.
