Abstract


A wide range of heart rate issues and irregularities in rhythm are explained by arrhythmia. Brady arrhythmias and tachy arrhythmias, which are depending on the heart rate, are the two main categories of arrhythmia. They are further categorized based on their origin, mode of transmission, and associated symptoms. Patients with an arrhythmia may demonstrate a broad spectrum of clinical presentation from being entirely asymptomatic to sudden cardiac arrest. Because arrhythmias can be paroxysmal, it might be challenging to estimate their actual prevalence. This exercise describes how different arrhythmias are evaluated and treated, and it emphasizes the importance of the interprofessional team in patient management.
