Clinical features
Sometimes a patient may feel a tachy and/or bradycardia as palpatations. The patient may be able to tap out the beat, which is useful in order to assess regularity and rate.
Arrythmias or conduction disturbances may present as a result of the haemodynamic consequences of disrupted rhythm of the heart, for example dyspnoea, angina, a funny turn, or a collapse.
Occasionally, dysrhythmias are discovered as incidental findings on cardiac monitoring and are asymptomatic.
