Heart Arrhythmias
Arrhythmias or heart rhythm problems are experienced by more than two million people a year in the UK. Most people with an abnormal heart rhythm can lead a normal life if it is properly diagnosed. Certain types of arrhythmias occur in people with severe heart conditions and can cause sudden cardiac death. This kills 100.000 people in the UK every year. Some of these deaths could be avoided if the arrhythmias were diagnosed earlier¹
