Arrhythmia is a disturbance in the heart's normal rhythm. This means that the heart may beat too fast, too slow, or with an irregular pattern.
Arrhythmia can cause problems such as chest pain, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, and even sudden death. Most cases of arrhythmia are not life-threatening, but they can be uncomfortable and require treatment. Treatment options include medications and surgery.
