EN English
An irregular heartbeat is present when the heart rhythm deviates by
more than 25 % from the median heart rhythm. The contraction of the
heart muscle is stimulated by electrical signals. A disorder of these
electrical signals is called an arrhythmia. This may be due to a genetic
predisposition, stress, age, lack of sleep, exhaustion or similar factors. A
doctor can establish whether an irregular heartbeat is the result of an
arrhythmia.
Heart rhythm disorders are disturbances of the normal rate or rhythm of the
heartbeat. A distinction should be made between mild and severe heart rhythm
disorders. This can only be determined by a special examination carried out by a
doctor.
