1. The pacemaker is a treatment for the heart disease called arrhythmia. An Arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an Arrhythmia, the heart can beat irregularly (either too fast or too slow). There are four types of Arrhythmia.
premature arrhythmia – are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your hearts two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). These heartbeats disturb your normal heart rhythm which causes your heart rate to increase.
supraventricular arrhythmias – is a fast heartbeat that begins at the atrium or atrioventricular (is a group of cells located between the ventricles and atrium) right and left ventricles and develops when the normal electrical pulses of the heart are disrupted. …show more content…
It is a condition in which the ventricles of the heart are beating at a rapid pace. It occurs due to a problem with the hearts electrical impulses. ventricular arrhythmias causes chest pain, dizziness and shortness of breath.
Bradyarrhythmias - occurs when the heart rate is slower than normal (lower than 60 bpm) . if the heartrate is too slow not enough blood reaches the brain (this can cause you to pass out). Bradyarrhythmias is due to the flawed cardiac conduction system (group of cardiac muscle cells in the walls of the heart that send signals to the heart causing it to contract) at the level of the atrium or atrioventricular.
A heartbeat that is too fast is called tachycardia. A heartbeat that is too slow is called
