Structural abnormalities or electric changes in the cardiomyocytes can impede impulse formation or change cardiac propagation facilitating arrhythmias. We briefly discuss the main causes of arrhythmia as these pathofysiological principles underlie to most common rhythm disorders and intervening in these mechanisms can terminate the arrhythmia. | Structural abnormalities or electric changes in the cardiomyocytes can impede impulse formation or change cardiac propagation facilitating arrhythmias.
