Heart arrhythmias are common, and many are harmless, but some can be serious and even life-threatening. These irregular heartbeats can feel like skipping, pounding, racing, or fluttering in the chest. Some arrhythmias can affect your quality of life, while others require immediate attention. Understanding the heart's electrical system is key to understanding arrhythmias. The heart's rhythm is controlled by electrical signals that originate from the SA node in the right atrium, traveling through the heart to regulate the heartbeat. With treatments available at Bangkok Hospital, arrhythmias can often be controlled or eliminated, improving heart health and overall well-being.
