Heart Rhythm

Heart rhythm refers to the regularity or pattern of heartbeats. Normally, the heart beats in a rhythmic pattern, pumping blood throughout the body. The heart's rhythm is controlled by electrical signals that originate in the sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the heart's natural pacemaker. These electrical signals travel through the heart's conduction system, causing the heart muscles to contract and pump blood.

Several types of heart rhythm disorders, including:

  • Bradycardia
  • Tachycardia
  • Arrhythmia
  • Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)
  • Atrial Flutter
  • Ventricular Fibrillation

Monitoring heart rhythm is important for diagnosing and managing heart conditions. This can be done through electrocardiograms (ECGs or EKGs), Holter monitors (portable ECG devices worn for a period of time), event monitors (used for intermittent monitoring), or implantable devices like pacemakers and defibrillators. Treatment for heart rhythm disorders may involve medications, lifestyle changes, or procedures like catheter ablation or implantation of a pacemaker or defibrillator.
