  2. What is Abnormal Heart Rhythm? When Heart Beat Falls Out of Rhythm: – Part 1 • Abnormal heart rhythm is a condition where the heartbeat occasionally falls out of rhythm. It can feel like a heart’s fluttering or beating too fast or too slow than the normal rate:  • signs of abnormal heart rhythm. Called as Heart Arrhythmias, this abnormal heart rhythm condition can carry a life-threatening heart risk or can sometimes stay silent and you don’t feel anything at all

  3. Heart Beat & Abnormal Heart Rhythm: • A group of cells in the heart called the cardiac conduction system sends out electrical impulses through sinus node, natural pacemaker located in the right upper chamber of the heart.  • As the ventricles are filled with blood, the electrical impulses arrive at the ventricle contracting it to pump this blood to the lungs or other parts of the body. • Everything goes smoothly and heartbeats at the rate of 60-100 beats per minute depending upon the activity level.

  4. What Causes an Abnormal Heart Rhythm? • There are many possible causes of abnormal heart rhythms that include heart attack, blocked arteries, high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiomyopathy, scarred heart tissues caused by a prior heart attack, overactive or underactive thyroid glands, stress or anxiety or even genetics. Types of Arrhythmia: There are two general types of arrhythmia depending on how they affect the heart: • Tachycardia: Faster heartbeat – when the heart beats faster than 100 beats/minute. • Bradycardia:  Slower heartbeat – when the heart beats slower than 60 beats/minute.
