The Normal Heart
Heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood to all the parts of the body. Heart pumps blood which is rich in oxygen and nutrients into the circulatory system. This system consists of blood vessels, such as arteries, veins, and capillaries which take blood that is pumped from heart into organs and receive blood from organs to heart.

An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate and or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or can be irregular. Aarrhythmia that is too fast is called tachyarrhythmia. Arrhythmia that is too slow is called bradyarrhythmia. During irregular rate or rhythm, the heart may not be able to pump enough blood to the body.
Read MoreSymptoms & Diagnosis
Although mostly arrhythmias are symptomatic, sometimes they may not produce any symptoms. Some serious arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation can be asymptomatic and present with stroke (AFincreases chance of stroke by 500%), while not so harmful arrhythmias like premature beats can be very symptomatic.

Finding the cause of the rhythm problem provides the basis for selecting the best treatment plan. Generally, the effective and least invasive treatment is chosen.
