What is an arrhythmia?
Common conditions that require monitoring
Some arrhythmias can come and go without symptoms. Others may cause issues like dizziness, palpitations, or fainting.
Monitoring your heart rhythm over time allows your care team to detect these events – especially the ones that don’t happen during clinic visits.
“Irregular activity in the upper chambers of the heart.”
The upper chambers beat rapidly and out of sync with the lower ones. This is the most common arrhythmia.
“Fast rhythm starting in the lower chambers.”
VT can reduce how effectively the heart pumps blood and may be serious if sustained.
“A stroke with no identified cause.”
Monitoring may uncover an undetected arrhythmia that could have contributed.
“A sudden loss of consciousness.”
Monitoring helps determine if the episode is linked to a heart rhythm change.
“A feeling of skipped beats, fluttering, or racing heart.”
Even if in-clinic tests don’t show anything, monitoring over time can help capture the cause when it actually occurs.
