Filed under: Heart & Vascular Heart rhythm problems (heart
arrhythmias) occur when the electrical impulses in your heart
that coordinate your heartbeats don't work properly, causing
your heart to beat too fast, too slow or irregularly. Heart
arrhythmias (uh-RITH-me-uhs) are often harmless. Most people
have occasional, irregular heartbeats that may feel like a
fluttering or racing heart. However, some heart arrhythmias may
cause bothersome — sometimes even life-threatening — signs and
symptoms. Heart arrhythmia treatment can often control or
eliminate irregular heartbeats. In addition, because troublesome
heart arrhythmias are often made worse — or are even caused — by
a weak or damaged heart, you may be able to reduce your
arrhythmia risk by adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle. Want to
