Other specified cardiac arrhythmias - what does this mean
Other specified cardiac arrhythmias are caused by abnormal electrical signals in the heart, leading to an irregular heartbeat. these abnormal signals can be caused by underlying heart conditions, such as coronary artery disease, or by certain medications, alcohol, or stimulants. in some cases, the cause is unknown.
What happens during the disease - other specified cardiac arrhythmias
Other specified cardiac arrhythmias is a broad term that refers to any abnormal heart rhythm that does not fit into the categories of the most common arrhythmias. it is caused by a disruption in the normal electrical impulses of the heart, which can be caused by a variety of factors such as changes in electrolyte balance, metabolic disorders, or damage to the heart muscle. in some cases, the cause of the arrhythmia is unknown. treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases, implantable devices or surgery.
