Arrhythmia is an abnormality in the heart rate, rhythm, or conduction. Normally, the rhythm of the heart is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and the electrical activity of the heart itself. When the mechanism is abnormal, it may lead to arrhythmia.

There are many causes of arrhythmia, including structural abnormalities of the heart, coronary heart disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, heart valve disease, electrolyte disorders, drug side effects, hyperthyroidism, etc. Some arrhythmias may be congenital, while others may be acquired.

Diagnosis of arrhythmia usually requires ECG, Holter monitoring, and other cardiac imaging tests. Treatment methods include pacemaker implantation, radiofrequency ablation of the heart, etc., and the specific treatment plan will depend on the type of arrhythmia and the patient's condition.
