Is Your Heart Rate Normal?

Irregular heart rate is arrhythmia (which is also referred to as dysrhythmia). Heart rate can also be irregular. Normally, the human heart beats about 50 to 100 beats per minute. Arrhythmias and abnormal heart rate often does not occur simultaneously.

Arrhythmia can occur even if your heart rate to normal or even a slow heart rate (bradyarrhythmia) that is less than 60 beats per minute.
Arrhythmia can also occur simultaneously with a rapid heart rate (tachyarrhythmia); the heart beats over 100 times per minute. In the United States more than 850 thousand people hospitalized every year because of suffering from arrhythmia.

Arrhythmia is caused by several factors:

1. Coronary artery disease (CAD): a disease characterized by fatty deposits lining the walls of coronary arteries and block blood flow
2. Electrolyte imbalance in the blood (such as potassium or sodium)
3. The change in heart muscle
4. There is a wound of a heart attack
5. In the process of healing after surgery

Arrhythmia may occur with no known or without symptoms. A doctor can detect an irregular heartbeat when you perform the examination. When symptoms appear, usually in the form:

• Palpitation (feeling the heart beat very fast, or you feel the heart feels like going out)
• Chest like to pound
• Headache
