Paroxysm of arrhythmia

Paroxysm of arrhythmia is an attack accompanied by disturbances of the heart rhythm (rapidity, weakening, interruptions). It can occur several times a day and very rarely, depending on the underlying disease. At the same time arrhythmia can last from several minutes to several months.

Seizures can be provoked by:

• strong physical activity,
• stress,
• infectious disease,
• the use of certain medicines and other factors.

In people with chronic cardiovascular disorders, paroxysms of arrhythmia can occur without any cause and at any time, including in sleep.
