condition where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of
defects in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat.
The symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or
excessively fast heart rate) may be caused, among other
things, by heart disease, age, physical predisposition, exces­
sive use of stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can
only be ascertained through examination by your doctor.

different age groups ... etc.
