How is Arrhythmia Evaluated?ĭepending on the severity of the arrhythmia, some can be detected simply with the use of a stethoscope while others require an electrocardiogram (ECG) to be performed. Bradyarrhythmia, also known as a slow heart rate, is a common cause of fatigue, dizziness with exertion, and even passing out. Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that usually presents the patient with heart palpitations, often remains undetected for years, and is sometimes the cause of strokes and heart failure. Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a term used to describe unexpected death as a result of arrhythmia, and is one of the most common causes of death while an ambulance is en route to the hospital.
Arrhythmia can develop at any age and is usually not life-threatening however, in some cases it can lead to stroke, passing out, heart failure, and in the worst case, cardiac arrest. Evaluation & Treatment of Irregular Heartbeats and Passing Out EpisodesĪrrhythmia, also known as cardiac dysrhythmia, is any one of a group of conditions in which there is an irregularity of the electrical activity within the heart, resulting in a heartbeat that is either too fast, too slow, or is irregular.
