Abnormal Heartbeat at Southeastern PA Easton
An abnormal heartbeat (aka cardiac arrhythmia or dysrhythmia) includes heartbeats that are too fast, too slow, regular, and irregular. They are the result of abnormal electrical activity in your heart and can be a symptom of cardiac arrest, but can also be minor and nothing to worry about. Arrhythmias are often detected by listening to the heart with a stethoscope or feeling for a pulse. An electrocardiogram, or EKG, is needed for an actual diagnosis. When treatment is required, pharmaceuticals, electricity, and electro or cryo cautery are often used.
