Irregular Heartbeat
Patients who suspect a heart problem, such as ischemia, should pay close attention to their heart rate. In addition to a rapid heart rate, ischemia can cause irregular heartbeats. Patients should note the rhythm of their heartbeat and check if it's steady.
An irregular heartbeat can signal a number of problems, and many are very serious. Patients who find they have an irregular heartbeat should see a cardiac specialist immediately for more information about how to manage their specific situation.
