cardiac arrhythmia
Heart rhythm disorder
Cardiac arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat—any deviation from the normal rhythm of the heart.
The heart may beat too fast, too slow, or erratically.
Some arrhythmias are harmless; others are life-threatening and require immediate treatment.
The monitor detected a cardiac arrhythmia during the stress test.
