Cardiac arrhythmias

A cardiac arrhythmia is an abnormality in the speed, regularity and/or origin of the heart’s rhythm.

These can manifest themselves in palpitations, a feeling of skipped beats (extra heartbeats and pauses, a trembling feeling in the chest and throat (palpitations)).

Sometimes the arrhythmia interferes with the heart's pumping function, resulting in low blood pressure. This sometimes causes spinning, light-headedness and fainting.

Please contact your treating doctor for more information.
