pulse It's a precise electrical
0:22
symphony In a healthy heart electrical
0:26
signals travel in a regular pattern
0:29
prompting the chambers to contract and
0:33
efficiently This pattern creates a
0:35
rhythm what we often refer to as a
0:40
rhythm It's steady predictable and
0:44
essential for good health However not
0:47
all rhythms are created equal When these
0:50
signals become erratic too fast or too
0:54
slow they can result in
0:57
arrhythmias Some may be harmless and
1:01

1:04
or ventricular tacicardia can signal
