Arrhythmias
Arrhythmias are common in older people.
Arrhythmias are basically a group of health issues that would interfere with the rhythm of your heart. They affect millions of people but are particularly common in the elderly. While these conditions are harmless, some of them might need medical attention. Some examples include:
– Ventricular tachycardia: This is a serious issue that causes a faster heart rhythm. Sometimes, it is often related to blackouts or dizziness
– Supraventricular tachycardia: It leads to episodes with a quick yet regular heartbeat. This condition might affect healthy people
– Atrial flutter: This condition would make your heart beat faster with an irregular or regular rhythm
– Atrial fibrillation: It causes an irregular and fast heart rate [4]
