Cardiac arrhythmias
Revision as of 19:15, 12 September 2019 by Karen Clement (talk | contribs)
A condition in which hear rates are too slow (i.e. under 60 beats per minute), too fast (i.e. above 100 beats per minute) or irregular (e.g. atrial fibrillation), usually attributable to abnormalities in the electrical signalling that coordinates the contraction of the four chambers of the heart.
