The electrical system of the heart needs to be able to generate a heartbeat that is neither too slow (bradycardia) nor too fast (tachycardia). There may be an intrinsic problem with the heart's electrical conducting system.Atrial fibrillationwith rapid ventricular response,atrial flutter, and ven...
Atrial fibrillationoccurs when the atrium has lost the ability to beat in a coordinated fashion. Instead of the SA node generating a single electrical signal, numerous areas of the atrium become irritated and produce electrical impulses. This causes the atrium to jiggle, or fibrillate, instead of...

Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response, atrial flutter, and ventricular tachycardia are too fast rates that can be associated with chest pain, shortness of breath, and other angina symptoms. Complete heart block can make the heart beat too slowly. The abnormal heart rhythm may be due...
