We can identify the cause of an arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) and treat it before it turns into something more serious.What Is Arrhythmia?Arrhythmia means there's a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. Your heart might beat too fast or slow, or it might skip beats.Your body's electrical system regulates your heartbeat. But sometimes things like aging, high blood pressure or clogged arteries cause a short circuit in your electrical system. Some arrhythmias are harmless, but others may be life-threatening if your brain and organs don't get enough blood.Arrhythmias happen for many reasons.
