What is arrhythmia? Beware that heart disease is the root cause

Arrhythmia refers to an abnormal heartbeat, and the patient may experience symptoms such as irregular heartbeat or difficulty breathing. Arrhythmia may be caused by heart disease or cardiovascular disease.

1. Heart attacks and underlying conditions that can damage the heart's electrical system can lead to the occurrence of arrhythmias. These underlying conditions include hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart failure, rheumatic heart disease, etc.

2. The cause of arrhythmia can also be manifested in that when the electrical signals that control the heartbeat encounter delays or blocks, arrhythmia may occur. When this happens, it's mainly because the specialized nerve cells that generate the heart's electrical signals are not functioning properly, but it can also be because the electrical signals are not being transmitted through the heart. At the same time, other parts of the heart begin to generate electrical signals or the electrical signals of special nerve cells cannot be transmitted normally, which will cause the heart to beat abnormally and cause arrhythmia.

3. Mentality and emotional activities also have a great impact on the disease. If you are in a bad mood, it may cause dangerous arrhythmia. Therefore, people should maintain a happy mood and a peaceful attitude in daily life, and be calm about food.

4. In addition, other causes of arrhythmia include work stress, smoking, drinking, the effects of certain drugs, caffeine, etc. These are also important factors that induce arrhythmia, so we should not be careless.
