| | Abnormal Heart Rhythm: What is an arrhythmia? |
 | | Arrhythmia surgery also may be recommended if you need surgery to correct other forms of heart disease (such as valve or bypass surgery). | | | Arrhythmias that are recurrent or related to an underlying heart condition are more concerning and should always be evaluated by a doctor. | | | -- in patients with persistent arrhythmias (such as atrial fibrillation), a normal rhythm may not be achieved with drug therapy alone. |

| | Symptoms of Arrhythmia overall: Palpitations or rapid thumping in your chest, feeling tired or light-headed, loosing consciousness, shortness of breath and chest pain. | | | Many arrhythmias require no treatment, they are naturally controlled by the body’s immune system. | | | Fibrillation is the most serious form of arrhythmia are contractions of individual heart muscle fibers. |

| | Because of the sporadic nature of the arrhythmias, the better option is to attach the electrodes to the patient's chest which are then connected to a tape recorder. | | | However, the patient may need other studies such as blood tests, chest x-ray, echocardiogram, and cardiac catheterization for overall assessment of the condition of the heart and diagnosing other related conditions. | | | You may have observed various scenes of cardiac arrest when the paramedical personnel apply electrical shock to the chest of the patient for resuscitation. |

| | What Are Arrhythmias? |
| | Some arrhythmias are so brief (for example, a temporary pause or premature beat) that the overall heart rate or rhythm isn't greatly affected. | | | This can cause the heart to pump less effectively. | | | But if arrhythmias last for some time, they may cause the heart rate to be too slow or too fast or the heart rhythm to be erratic. |
