Heart arrhythmia (or heart rhythm  problems) refers to the condition where the electrical impulses in the heart (that co-ordinate the heart beats) fail to function properly; this results in too fast heart beats, or too slow heart beats, or irregular heart-beats.  Often, the condition doesn't harm the person. However, some heart arrhythmias need treatment, because they can be quite bothersome, and even life-threatening to the person. We've listed some prominent symptoms and causes of Arrythmia so that you can better understand it, and take timely measures.
