What Is Arrhythmia?
9. Diagnosis
Your doctor will probably want to perform a brief exam, and also ask you about your symptoms. They may also ask about your medical history, and about any relevant medical conditions that run in your family. A number of methods can also be used to help clarify the cause of your symptoms.
An ECG may be used to help measure the electrical activity in your heart. Different types of ECG can be used to get different readings that will help detect arrhythmias. A stress test may be used to see how your heart performs under demand, and other tests are available that will help measure the structure and the performance of your heart.
