Heart rhythm monitoring - How are abnormal rhythms detected?
An abnormal heart rhythm, known medically as an arrhythmia, is a condition where the heart beats too fast, too slowly, or in an irregular pattern. Our heart rhythm is usually controlled by electrical signals that coordinate the pumping action of the heart, ensuring blood is distributed efficiently around the body. However, when these signals are disrupted, arrhythmias can occur, potentially leading to symptoms and complications. Renowned consultant cardiologist Dr Martin Lowe helps you understand more about abnormal heart rhythms, the different types, causes, and when to seek medical attention.
