The word arrhythmia comes from two Greek words. So arrhythmia literally means absence or loss of rhythm. A cardiac arrhythmia therefore means loss of cardiac rhythm. The first is ‘a-’ which means absence or loss and the second is ‘rhythmos’ which means rhythm. There are two other important points to note.
