Overview

Cardiac arrhythmia is any of a large and heterogeneous group of conditions in which there is abnormal electrical activity in the heart. The heart beat may be too fast or too slow, and may be regular or irregular. A heart beat that is too fast is called tachycardia and a heartbeat that is too slow is called bradycardia. Although many arrhythmias are not life-threatening, some can cause cardiac arrest.

+==Overview==
+Cardiac arrhythmia is any of a large and heterogeneous group of conditions in which there is abnormal electrical activity in the [[heart]]. The [[heart beat]] may be too fast or too slow, and may be regular or irregular. A heart beat that is too fast is called [[tachycardia]] and a heartbeat that is too slow is called [[bradycardia]]. Although many arrhythmias are not life-threatening, some can cause [[cardiac arrest]].

-'''Cardiac arrhythmia''' is any of a group of conditions in which the electrical activity of the [[heart]] is irregular or is faster or slower than normal.
+*[[Bundle of His]]
-Some arrhythmias are life-threatening [[medical emergencies]] that can cause cardiac arrest and sudden death. Others cause aggravating symptoms, such as an awareness of a different heart beat, or [[palpitation]], which can be annoying. Some are quite minor and can be regarded as normal. Sinus arrhythmia is the mild acceleration followed by slowing of the normal rhythm that occurs with breathing. In adults the normal resting heart rate ranges from 60 beats per minute to 100 beats per minute. The normal heart beat is controlled by a small area in the upper chamber of the heart called the [[sinoatrial node]] or sinus node. The sinus node contains specialized cells that have spontaneous electrical activity that starts each normal heart beat.
+*[[Bundle of Kent]]
-== Faster and slower arrythmias ==
+*[[Cardiac arrhythmia following heart transplantation]]
-In an adult, a heart rate faster than 100 beats/minute is considered [[tachycardia]]. This number varies with age, as the heartbeat of a younger person is naturally faster than that of an older person's. During exercise the sinus node increases its rate of electrical activity to accelerate the heart rate. Such normal fast rate that develops is called sinus tachycardia. In contrast, arrhythmias that are due to fast, abnormal electrical activity can cause tachycardias that are dangerous. If the [[left ventricle|ventricles]] of the heart experience one of these tachycardias for a long period of time, there can be deleterious effects. Individuals may sense a tachycardia as a pounding sensation of the heart, known as [[palpitation]]s. If a tachycardia lowers blood pressure it may cause lightheadedness or dizziness, or even [[fainting]] (syncope). If the tachycardia is too fast, the pump function of the heart is impeded, and rarely may lead to [[cardiac arrest|sudden death]].
-Most tachycardias are not dangerous. Anything that increases adrenaline or its effects on the heart will increase the heart rate and potentially cause palpitations or tachycardias. Causes include stress, ingested or injected substances (ie: [[caffeine]], [[amphetamines]], [[ethanol|alcohol]]&mdash;see [[Holiday heart syndrome]]), and an overactive thyroid gland ([[hyperthyroidism]]). Individuals who have a tachycardia are often advised to limit or remove exposure to any causative agent. However, these causative agents are not the only contributors to tachycardias and their prevalence has not been evaluated statistically.
+*[[Ectopic atrial rhythm]]
-A slow rhythm, known as [[bradycardia]] (less than 60 beats/min), is usually not life threatening, but may cause symptoms. It may be caused by reversible causes (low oxygen, electrolyte abnormalities), or be more permanent (heart block). When it causes symptoms implantation of a permanent [[artificial pacemaker|pacemaker]] may be needed. Either dysrhythmia requires medical attention to evaluate the risks associated with the arrhythmia.
+*[[First degree AV block]]
-== Fibrillation ==
+*[[Focal atrial tachycardia]]
-A serious variety of arrhythmia is known as [[Ventricular fibrillation|fibrillation]]. The muscle cells of the heart normally function together, creating a single contraction when stimulated. Fibrillation occurs when the [[heart]] [[muscle]]  begins a quivering motion due to a disunity in contractile cell function. Fibrillation can affect the atrium ([[atrial fibrillation]]) or the ventricle ([[ventricular fibrillation]]); ventricular fibrillation is imminently life-threatening.
+*[[Heart transplantation associated arrhythmias]]
-''Atrial fibrillation'' is the quivering, chaotic motion in the upper chambers of the heart, known as the [[Atrium (heart)|atria]]. Atrial fibrillation is often due to serious underlying medical conditions, and should be evaluated by a [[physician]]. It is not typically a medical emergency.
+*[[Idioventricular rhythm]]
+{{col-break|width=33%}}
-''Ventricular fibrillation'' occurs in the [[ventricle (heart)|ventricles]] (lower chambers) of the heart; it is always a medical emergency. If left untreated, [[ventricular fibrillation]] (VF, or V-fib) can lead to death within minutes. When a heart goes into V-fib, effective pumping of the blood stops. V-fib is considered a form of [[cardiac arrest]], and an individual suffering from it will not survive unless [[cardiopulmonary resuscitation]] (CPR) and [[defibrillation]] are provided immediately.
+*[[Isorhythmic A-V Dissociation]]
-CPR can prolong the survival of the [[brain]] in the lack of a normal pulse, but defibrillation is the intervention which is most likely to restore a more healthy heart rhythm. It does this by applying an electric shock to the heart, after which sometimes the heart will revert to a rhythm that can once again pump blood.
+*[[Junctional bradycardia]]
-Almost every person goes into ventricular fibrillation in the last few minutes of life as the heart muscle reacts to diminished oxygen or general blood flow, trauma, irritants, or depression of electrical impulses themselves from the brain.
+*[[Junctional tachycardia]]
-==Origin of impulse==
+*[[Left anterior hemiblock]]
-When an electrical impulse begins in any part of the heart, it will spread throughout the [[myocardium]] and cause a contraction; see [[Electrical conduction system of the heart]]. Abnormal impulses can begin by one of two mechanisms: automaticity or reentry.
+*[[Left bundle branch block]]
-===Automaticity===
+*[[Left posterior fascicular block]]
-Automaticity refers to a cardiac muscle cell firing off an impulse on its own. Every cardiac cell has this potential: if it does ''not'' receive any impulses from elsewhere, its internal "pacemaker" will fire off an impulse after a certain amount of time. A single specialized location in the atrium, the [[sinoatrial node]], has a higher automaticity (a faster pacemaker) than the rest of the heart, and therefore is usually the one to start the heartbeat.
+*[[Low atrial focus tachycardia]]
-Any part of the heart that initiates an impulse without waiting for the sinoatrial node is called an ''[[Cardiac ectopy|ectopic]] focus'', and is by definition a pathological phenomenon. This may cause a single premature beat now and then, or, if the ectopic focus fires more often than the sinoatrial node, it can produce a sustained abnormal rhythm. Rhythms produced by an ectopic focus in the atria, or by the [[atrioventricular node]], are the least dangerous dysrhythmias; but they can still produce a decrease in the heart's pumping efficiency, because the signal reaches the various parts of the heart muscle with slightly different timing than usual and causes a poorly coordinated contraction.
+*[[Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome]]
-Conditions that increase automaticity include [[sympathetic nervous system]] stimulation and [[Hypoxia (medical)|hypoxia]]. The resulting heart rhythm depends on where the first signal begins: if it is the sinoatrial node, the rhythm remains normal but rapid; if it is an ectopic focus, many types of dysrhythmia can result.
+*[[Mahaim fibers]]
-===Re-entry===<!-- This section is linked from [[Myocardial infarction]] -->
+*[[Multifocal atrial tachycardia]]
-Re-entry dysrhythmias occur when an electrical impulse travels in a circle within the heart, rather than moving outward and then stopping. Every cardiac cell is able to transmit impulses in every direction, but will only do so once within a short period of time. Normally the impulse spreads through the heart quickly enough that each cell will only respond once, but if conduction is abnormally slow in some areas, part of the impulse will arrive late and will be treated as a new impulse, which can then spread backward. Depending on the timing, this can produce a sustained abnormal rhythm, such as [[atrial flutter]], a self-limiting burst of [[supraventricular tachycardia]], or the dangerous [[ventricular tachycardia]].
-== Differential Diagnosis ==
+*[[Pacemaker mediated tachycardia]]
-=== AV Reentry Tachycardia with Preexcitation Complex ===
+*[[Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia (PAT) with Block]]
-* Congenital
+*[[Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia]]
-* [[Drug]]s
-* Emotional excitation
-* Heavy exercise
-=== AV Node Reentry Tachycardia Without Preexcitation ===
+*[[Premature atrial contraction]]
-* [[Ddx:Cardiomyopathy|Cardiomyopathy]]
+*[[Right bundle branch block]]
-* Congenital
-* [[Hyperthyroidism]]
-* [[Mitral valve prolapse]]
-By analogy, imagine a room full of people all given these instructions: "If you see anyone starting to stand up, then stand up for three seconds and sit back down." If the people are quick enough to respond, the first person to stand will trigger a single wave which will then die out; but if there are stragglers on one side of the room, people who have already sat down will see them and start a second wave, and so on.
+*[[Runaway pacemaker syndrome]]
-==Diagnosis==
+*[[Second degree AV block]]
-Cardiac dysrhythmias are often first detected by simple but nonspecific means: [[auscultation]] of the heartbeat with a [[stethoscope]], or feeling for peripheral [[pulse]]s. These cannot usually diagnose specific dysrhythmias, but can give a general indication of the heart rate and whether it is regular or irregular. Not all the electrical impulses of the heart produce audible or palpable beats; in many cardiac arrhythmias, the premature or abnormal beats do not produce an effective pumping action and are experienced as "skipped" beats.
+*[[Sensor induced tachycardia]]
-The simplest ''specific'' diagnostic test for assessment of heart rhythm is the [[electrocardiogram]] (abbreviated '''ECG''' or '''EKG'''). A [[Holter monitor]] is an EKG recorded over a 24-hour period, to detect dysrhythmias that may happen briefly and unpredictably throughout the day.
+*[[Sick sinus syndrome]]
+{{col-break|width=33%}}
-==SADS==
+*[[Sinoatrial nodal reentry tachycardia]]
-'''SADS''', or '''sudden arrhythmia death syndrome''', is a term used to describe sudden [[death]] due to [[cardiac arrest]] brought on by an arrhythmia. The most common cause of sudden death in the US is coronary artery disease. Approximately 300,000 people die suddenly of this cause every year in the US.
+*[[Sinus arrhythmia]]
-Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome (SADS) can also occur from other causes. Also, there are many inherited conditions and heart diseases that can affect young people that can cause sudden death. Many of these victims have no symptoms before dying suddenly.
+*[[Sinus bradycardia]]
-Causes of SADS in young people are [[long QT syndrome]], [[Brugada syndrome]], [[Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia]] and [[hypertrophic cardiomyopathy]] and [[arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia]] ("arrythmia"-causing, "right ventricle"-involving, pre-cancerous malformation).

-== Antiarrhythmic therapies==
+*[[SVT with aberrancy]]
-There are many classes of antiarrhythmic medications and many individual drugs within these classes. See the article on '''[[antiarrhythmic agents]]'''.
+*[[Tachycardia]]
-Dysrhythmias may also be treated electrically. [[Cardioversion]] is the application of electrical current across the chest wall to the heart and it is used for treatment of supraventricular or pulsed ventricular tachycardia. [[Defibrillation]] differs in that it is used for ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia, and more electricity is delivered with defibrillation than with cardioversion. In cardioversion, the recipient is either sedated or lightly [[anesthesia|anesthetized]] for the procedure. In defibrillation, the recipient has lost consciousness so there is no need for sedation.
+*[[Tachycardia bradycardia syndrome]]
-Electrical treatment of dysrhythmia includes [[cardiac pacing]]. Temporary pacing may be done for very slow heartbeats, or [[bradycardia]], from [[drug overdose]] or [[myocardial infarction]]. A [[artificial pacemaker|pacemaker]] may be placed in situations where the bradycardia is not expected to recover.
+*[[Third degree AV block]]
-Atrial fibrillation can also be treated through a procedure, e.g. pulmonary vein isolation. This is performed by a cardiologist who specializes in electrophysiology and is done [[percutaneously]] with [[catheters]]. Alternatively, a maze procedure can be performed through [[cardiothoracic surgery]].
+*[[Trifascicular block]]
-===Fatty acids===
+*[[Ventricular escape]]
-[[Fatty acids]] play an important role in the life and death of cardiac cells because they are essential fuels for mechanical and electrical activities of the heart.<ref>{{cite web | title=External blockade...by polyunsaturated fatty acids | url=http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/pagerender.fcgi?artid=43279&pageindex=1#page | format= | publisher=pubmed}}Retrieved on 18 January 2007 </ref><ref>{{cite web | title=Antiarrythmic effects of omega-3 fatty acids | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=AbstractPlus&list_uids=16919517&query_hl=87&itool=pubmed_DocSum | format= | publisher=pubmed}}Retrieved on 18 January 2007</ref> <ref>{{cite web | title=Alpha-linolenic acid, cardiovascular disease and sudden death | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=AbstractPlus&list_uids=17086218&query_hl=3&itool=pubmed_DocSum | format= | publisher=pubmed}}Retrieved on 18 January 2007</ref> <ref>{{cite web | title=Omega-3 and health | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=AbstractPlus&list_uids=17091903&query_hl=3&itool=pubmed_DocSum | format= | publisher=pubmed}}</ref> Retrieved on 18 January 2007
