Arrhythmia, literally speaking, is a disease where the heart beats "abnormally." Broadly speaking, it can be roughly divided into "irregular intervals" with disrupted rhythm, "tachycardia" with faster beats, and "bradycardia" with slower beats. The pathways and types of these symptoms vary, and their levels of danger differ as well. Some may be as simple as the heart taking a yawn, which is nothing to worry about; others, however, may pose the risk of sudden death.
