The symptoms of a cardiac arrhythmia differ depending on the specific type and severity of the disorder. Symptoms can include anxiety, palpitations, chest pan, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting or syncope and angina. Symptoms can also include seizures, hypotension, weak pulse, absent pulse, labored breathing and loss of breathing (apnea).
Certain untreated cardiac arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, can eventually lead to life-threatening complications, such as blood clots, stroke and death. Even with emergency treatment, some types of cardiac arrhythmias have a high risk of fatality. These include ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest.
