Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat becomes irregular or erratic, due to abnormal electrical activity in the heart. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including: Heart damage: A heart attack, heart disease, or other structural damage to the heart can interfere with the electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat. High blood pressure: When blood pressure is consistently high, it can cause the heart to work harder and disrupt the electrical signals in the heart.

Congenital heart defects: Some people are born with heart abnormalities that can cause arrhythmias. Electrolyte imbalances: Electrolytes are minerals in the body that help regulate heart function.
