Cardiologist Dr Vashisth emphasises the importance of comprehensive screenings, other than ECG, to find heart diseases, as many risk factors go unchecked.

The rhythm in a working heart is regulated by electrical impulses. Disturbances of this bioelectrical process can result in cardiac arrhythmias, or irregularities in heartbeat -- a common ailment ...

People with third degree heart block have an irregular heartbeat due to a total blockage of the electrical impulses that control the heart’s activity. It can lead to faintness and breathing ...

Sinus tachycardia is when the sinus node in the heart sends electrical impulses faster than the normal rate. Learn more about causes and treatments here.

Second-degree heart block is a potentially serious, but treatable condition affecting the heart’s electrical system. It means the impulses necessary to keep the heart beating in a steady and ...

Over an average five-year period, 1,114 of the 21,004 participants (5.3 percent) still developed conduction disease, including 389 with a delay or blockage of electrical impulses to the left side of ...

But if you have AT, an extra area in your atria is sparking electrical impulses. If you have more than one site sending out these pulses, it’s called multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT).

A series of electrical impulses keep your heart pumping; when one of the impulses is mistimed, you’ll feel palpitations in your chest. Most of the time it’s nothing, but they can be a sign of ...

Your chance of dying from a heart attack has dropped dramatically, but other deadly heart conditions are on the rise, a new study found.

Complete heart block occurs when electrical impulses in the heart’s upper chambers (atria) don't travel down to the lower chambers (ventricles).
