It is an abnormal cardiac rate or rhythm (arrhythmia). The condition is caused by a failure of the sinus node to maintain its pacemaker function or by a defect in the electrical conduction system. Examples of arrhythmia include:

Bradycardia (slow heart rate),
Ectopic beat (Premature Atrial or Ventricular Contraction)
Heart Block
Tachycardia (a very fast heart rate) examples of this, to name a few...Supraventricular which is a tachycardia arising in the top two chambers of the heart, Ventricular Tach which is a tachycardia originating from the bottom two chambers in the heart.

Hope this helps to shed some light on your question.
