Every Beat Brought Them Closer.

Edit Did You Know?

Bradycardia is a slow heartbeat. Not all bradycardias are a problem. Athletes and people who are physically fit often have bradycardias. Their resting heart rates may be fewer than 60 beats per minute because their hearts are more efficient and can pump adequate blood with fewer beats.

The sinus node is responsible for setting the pace of your heart. Scarring near the sinus node from heart disease or a heart attack may also slow down or block the electrical impulses as they try to travel through the heart. There may be no signs of these blocks other than skipped or slowed heartbeats.

Tachycardia is a fast heartbeat. The two most common types of tachycardia are supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia.

Supraventricular tachycardia SVT is any arrhythmia that begins above the ventricle. SVTs are usually identified by a burst of rapid heartbeats that can be chronic or begin and end suddenly. These bursts can last a few seconds or several hours and may cause your heart to beat more than times per minute. The most common SVTs include atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. If you have atrial fibrillation AF , your atrium beats very rapidly as fast as to beats per minute.

Instead, they quiver, or fibrillate. This can cause discomfort, but not a rapid pulse.

However, some of these atrial beats can transfer to the ventricles and may cause a high pulse rate. AF primarily affects older people. Your risk of developing this arrhythmia increases past age 60, mostly due to the wear an older heart experiences. The chances of developing AF are also high if you have or have had high blood pressure or other heart problems.

AF can be dangerous.

If left untreated, it can lead to more serious conditions, such as stroke. The heartbeats in atrial flutter are more rhythmic and constant than the heartbeats in atrial fibrillation. Still, atrial flutter can come and go in sudden bursts.

It can be life-threatening. This type of arrhythmia occurs most often in people with heart disease. It also often shows up in the first weeks after heart surgery. Ventricular tachycardia VT is an arrhythmia that begins in the ventricles of the heart. Most VT occurs in people who have had heart disease or heart-related problems, such as coronary artery disease or heart attack.
