Heart Arrythmia

 

"Agonic lines, ascendances and amatory tendencies
From here to heart arrhythmias
Oh don't you know we're not like this..."

 

Heart arrythmia (or cardiac arrythmia, also dysrhythmia) is a term that covers any of a large and heterogeneous group of conditions in which there is abnormal electrical activity in the heart.

The conditions of heart arrythmia can range from the life threatening to the very minor, or predispose other condition such as a stroke. A fast or slow heart beat, abnormal awareness of heart beat (palpitations), the occasional extra strong beat or 'skipping' a beat, are all examples of heart arrythmia.

Ventricular Fibrillation, an example of cardiac arrythmia.
