Hearts in Rhythm Organization
2
Inherited heart rhythm conditions, or IHRCs, are a group of heart problems that affect the electrical signals, and sometimes muscle function, of the heart. There are several different conditions but they share some similar features. The most important common feature is the risk of the heart suddenly going in to a fast, abnormal rhythm that can cause fainting or blackouts or, in the most severe cases, a cardiac arrest. In many individuals there are no other symptoms and so the treatments are aimed at reducing the risk of dangerous heart rhythms and preventing sudden cardiac arrest.
