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.
