# Arrythmia
|

|
|
|

|
|
Arrhythmia, also known as irregular heartbeat, is a condition where the heart beats abnormally [(1)](https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/arrhythmias). This can be due to various factors including genetic predisposition, poor [[lifestyle]] habits, such as following a [[standard american diet]], and underlying medical conditions.
|

|
**Key features of arrythmia:**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Irregular or abnormal heartbeat, which can feel like skipping beats, palpitations, or fluttering in the chest.
|
||
|
|
- Can lead to reduced cardiac output, causing symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and dizziness.
|
||
|
|
- Untreated arrhythmia increases the risk of stroke and heart failure due to blood clots forming in the atria or ventricles.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are many types of arrhythmias, including [[atrial fibrillation]], atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, and ventricular tachycardia. Risk factors are similar to those for [[cardiovascular disease]], with an emphasis on age, family history, hypertension, smoking, and physical inactivity. Management requires a multidisciplinary approach incorporating lifestyle changes, pharmacological interventions, and potentially interventional or surgical procedures.
