a condition where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a
result of defects in the bioelectrical system controlling
the heart beat. The symptoms (omitted or premature
heart beats, slow or excessively fast heart rate) may
be caused, among other things, by heart disease, age,
physical predisposition, excessive use of stimulants,
stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be ascer-
tained through examination by your doctor.
