Causes of Arrhythmia
Electrical cells in the heart and heart muscle
fibers establish the heartbeat. The electrical
cells act like a natural electrical wiring system.
In certain conditions, the heart’s electrical
cells in the heart's upper chambers, lower chambers,
or the electrical connections between them cause
the heart to beat too slowly, too rapidly, or
in an uncoordinated fashion, causing an arrhythmia.
It
is difficult to know what triggers arrhythmias.
Our comprehensive team is skilled in examining
arrhythmias in order to formulate the best
plan for each individual.
