A heart arrhythmia is an irregular or abnormal heart rhythm. This usually harmless condition happens when the electrical impulses that control heartbeats do not work properly, causing the heart to beat too fast, too slow or abnormally. There are several factors that may trigger heart arrhythmias.
High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is hereditary but is also preventable with adequate exercise and a healthy diet.
Smoking
Smoking has been an environmental issue for a long time and has been minimized over the past few years, especially among teens.
Diabetes
Diabetes is a preventable condition that is both hereditary and brought upon by environmental factors, such as eating poorly and not exercising enough.
Stress
Stress disrupts the normal functions of the body and has been known to raise blood pressure levels.
Scarring of Heart Tissue
If you have had a heart attack, you are at a higher risk for having heart arrhythmias because heart attacks produce scars on heart tissue.
