Possible Causes

Cardiac Arrhythmia

When the device senses an abnormal heart rhythm, it sends electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate. [web.archive.org]

An abnormally fast, slow, or irregular pulse. Dizziness or feeling faint. Shortness of breath. Chest pains which sometimes develop. [patient.info]

An arrhythmia (also called dysrhythmia) is an irregular or abnormal heartbeat. What is my pulse? [my.clevelandclinic.org]

Atrial Fibrillation

There is an initiative called "Check Your Pulse" aimed at identifying abnormal heart rates and patients with undiagnosed atrial fibrillation early. [onhealth.com]

You can measure your heart rate by feeling the pulse in your neck or wrist. [nhs.uk]

You can measure your heart rate by feeling the pulse in your neck or wrist. In atrial fibrillation, the heart rate is irregular and can sometimes be very fast. [nhs.uk]

Show info

Ventricular Fibrillation

Ventricular fibrillation is an abnormally irregular heart rhythm caused by rapid, ineffective, uncoordinated contraction of the ventricles which produce no peripheral pulse [symptoma.com]

Ventricular fibrillation disrupts the synchrony between the heartbeat and the pulse beat. [medicinenet.com]

Patients in cardiac arrest have absent or abnormal (gasping) respirations. [emedicine.medscape.com]
