I have a heart arrhythmia. Can arrhythmia cause serious health issues?

An arrhythmia is when the heart does not beat regularly. Sometimes, it can be benign. Other times arrhythmias may be associated with other health problems such as a stroke. This can happen when a blood clot develops in the heart from an arrhythmia. The blood clot will travel to the brain and get lodged, causing a stroke from lack of blood flow.
Certain arrhythmias can be very determinantal. thus, is prudent to get it diagnosed and treated early.
