The medical term for the irregular beating of your heart is known as cardiac arrhythmia or dysehythmia. It is used to describe the disorder in which there is abnormal activity in the heart, causing the heart to beat too fast or too slow or irregularly. Sometimes this disorder can cause a life threatening situation and even cause cardiac arrest and sometimes sudden death. Though more commonly this disorder is more annoying than anything else, while some patients manifest no symptoms but they are also pre- disposed towards a stroke or embolus. Normally this disorder is triggered by coronary disease, because of the fact that the coronary disease produces a scar tissue in the heart. The scar tissue then disturbs the normal transmission of signals which are imperative to the proper functioning of the heart. The disorder can also be caused due to atherosclerosis and some people are also born with arrhythmias. Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol and getting stressed as they are indirect contributing factors.
