Some of the most serious types of arrhythmia are inherited and effect more than one member of a family. Learn more about the causes of arrhythmia . What are the types of arrhythmia? A normal heart beats 60 to 80 times per minute. If your heart beats less than 60 beats per minute, it is beating too slowly (bradycardia). If your heart is beating more than 100 beats per minute, it is beating too quickly (tachycardia). Learn more about the types of arrhythmia . How is arrhythmia diagnosed? Your doctor will review your medical history and may order the following tests: What treatment is available for arrhythmia? Your doctor may treat your condition with a combination of medication and lifestyle changes .
