Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms that can occur when the electrical impulses that coordinate the heartbeats are not working properly. This can cause the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly. Arrhythmias can lead to symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, fainting, chest pain, and in severe cases, sudden cardiac arrest. Research in this area focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying arrhythmias, developing new diagnostic techniques, and improving treatments to manage and prevent arrhythmias. This includes studying the role of genetics, lifestyle factors, and medical conditions in the development of arrhythmias, as well as developing new medications and devices to help regulate the heart's rhythm.
