What Is Arrhythmia?
7. Complications
In addition to the symptoms already mentioned, arrhythmia will also cause some potentially serious complications in some cases. This includes heart failure, which means that your heart becomes less effective at its job. This can often be managed, however. Another, potentially even more serious complication is a stroke.
People that have arrhythmia are also more likely to develop blood clots. These blood clots can become dislodged and then travel through the body where they can potentially become stuck and block the flow of blood to the brain. A stroke is a very serious condition and the patient should be found medical assistance straight away.
