Arrhythmia is an alteration in the heart rhythm, which is produced by a sudden change in the usual rhythm of the heart or also by unusual variations in the rate. It should be noted that a healthy heart rate is sixty-one hundred beats per minute, there may be figures below these and even a little higher, resulting in heart problems.
In a normal state of an individual, the heartbeat is not perceived, so its sudden acceleration must be evaluated by a specialist. There are arrhythmias such as ventricular that do not cause symptoms or are simply very mild and have a minimally invasive effect on the effectiveness of the heart's blood pumping, especially when they last for a short time.
According to some studies, they have shown that many elderly people with a healthy condition will suffer short arrhythmias. Although, these arrhythmias that last just a few minutes or there are cases where they last for hours, can have very serious consequences for the health of those who suffer from it, such as reducing the amount of blood that the heart pumps to the rest of the body, causing other pathologies.
A normal heart works as a pump that carries blood to all the body's organs and for this to happen it is necessary for the organ to have a system that performs the proper functions of orderly contracting the heart.
This electrical impulse that signals the heart to contract begins in the sinoatrial node, also known as the sinus node, which performs the functions that the heart needs to work. This lowers in the following way, a signal is emitted that leaves the sinoatrial node and travels through the heart along a series of electrical routes, these being received by a complex nervous system that gives the command voice so that it beats more slow or faster the heart. So by understanding this process, you have that the arrhythmia causes problems in the electrical system of the heart, causing a problem for the patient.
Among the symptoms suffered by the person with cardiac arrhythmia are: Pain in the thoracic part of the body, fainting, dizziness, vertigo, paleness and shortness of breath, without leaving behind extreme sweating.
