Several factors can influence the heart's rhythm. It is important to monitor your heartbeat and consult a doctor if you feel a persistent irregular heartbeat. Your consultant can help diagnose the type of arrhythmia and determine an appropriate arrhythmia treatment to control or eliminate fast, slow or irregular heartbeats.
An arrhythmia is characterized by abnormal heart rhythms caused by disruptions within the electrical signals in the heart which control the heart’s pumping action. The heart beats too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregularly (atrial fibrillation).
Some of the certain factors that contribute to causing abnormal heart rhythms and heartbeat irregularities include:

The persistence of these symptoms calls for appropriate medical help, for proper diagnosis and treatment in order to prevent any significant damage to the heart or brain and life-threatening complications.
During your initial consultation with the heart-care Consultant, a doctor can detect an irregular heartbeat during your physical examination by taking your pulse, listening to your heart, or performing diagnostic tests, such as an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG). Once a diagnosis is established and arrhythmia is diagnosed, your consultant will determine a course of action to correct an irregular heartbeat in collaboration with you, based on your overall health and other factors. If the condition is left untreated, it may affect the functioning of the heart as well as damage the brain or other organs.
