Heart arrhythmia: Heart arrhythmia is a group of conditions in which the heartbeat is either in irregular manner, too fast, or too slow. A heart rate that is too fast almost above 100 beats per minute in adults is termed as tachycardia and a heart rate that is too slow below 60 beats per minute is termed as bradycardia. Many types of arrhythmia conditions have no symptoms. When symptoms are present these may include palpitations or feeling a pause between heartbeats. In more serious cases there may be chest pain lightheadedness, passing out, or shortness of breath. While most types of arrhythmia are not serious, some predispose a person to complications such as stroke or heart failure. Others may result in cardiac arrest.
