Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of arrhythmia that is not considered to be serious. AFib is a condition in which the heart's atria (upper chambers) beat erratically and can cause an irregular heart rate. AFib is usually treated with lifestyle changes and medication, and the majority of people with AFib can lead a normal life.
Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a more serious type of arrhythmia. VT occurs when the heart's ventricles (lower chambers) beat very quickly, usually more than 100 beats per minute. In some cases, VT can cause dizziness, chest pain, and shortness of breath. VT can also lead to cardiac arrest if not treated promptly.
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a type of arrhythmia that is usually not considered to be serious. SVT is a condition in which the heart's upper chambers beat very quickly, usually more than 100 beats per minute. In most cases, SVT can be treated with lifestyle changes and medications, and the majority of people with SVT can lead a normal life.
Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs)
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are a type of arrhythmia that is usually not considered to be serious. PVCs are extra heartbeats that occur between normal heartbeats. PVCs can cause palpitations, chest pain, and shortness of breath. In most cases, PVCs can be treated with lifestyle changes and medications, and the majority of people with PVCs can lead a normal life.
