Have you or a loved one ever experienced an irregular heart rhythm? If so, you know how scary it can be, especially if you don't know what's causing it, or if it's a sign of something serious or life-threatening. Irregular heart rhythms, or arrhythmias, occur when the heart's electrical signals are abnormal, causing the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or in an uncoordinated manner. There are numerous types of arrhythmias. Some resolve on their own, while others need treatment. This short film discusses the different types of arrhythmias, including paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), which affects about 1.7 million people in the United States. Watch this short film to learn more about these arrhythmias, diagnosis, and treatment options. For more information, visit www.AgingResearch.org/arrhythmias
