Dysrhythmias
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Dysrhythmias, also called arrhythmias, are alterations of the normal rhythm of the heartbeat: it can become too fast, too slow, or irregular due to changes in the heart's electrical system.
Common symptoms: palpitations or a sensation that the heart is speeding up or skipping beats, dizziness, shortness of breath, fatigue, and, in some cases, chest discomfort.
Common causes: they are usually related to heart disease, alterations of minerals in the blood, thyroid problems, stress, or certain habits; some forms appear without an evident cause.
Which specialist treats it? The evaluation of heart rhythm corresponds to the cardiologist, and when it occurs in children, to the pediatric cardiologist. If you notice persistent irregular heartbeats or fainting, it is a good idea to schedule a review to study the case in time.
