What Is Arrhythmia?
3. Tachycardia
Tachycardia is a variety of arrhythmia that causes the heart to pump too quickly. The condition can occur in the atria or in the ventricles. Among the most common variety are atrial or ventricular fibrillations. These conditions typically make the heart less effective at pumping blood around the body.
The severity of the symptoms of tachycardia will vary from cases to case, and according to which type of tachycardia the patient has. In some cases, the patient will barely notice any symptoms at all. In others, the condition can have a serious negative impact on the patient’s quality of life. Arrhythmias can also be very dangerous.
