5. Arrhythmia
One of the most common consequences of a deficient connection between the upper right chamber of the heart and the rest of the organ is the disorganization of the heartbeat. This electrical system is responsible for not only keeping the heart beating constantly but also making sure that the pace of the beat is steady and responds to the current demand for blood supply (for example, the heart needs to beat faster when we are exercising than when we are resting).
When this system of communication doesn’t work well, the cells of our heart can start beating in a chaotic way and the beats don’t last all the same. Some beats are faster than others, and sometimes the heart feels like it stops for a moment or that we even skip a beat. Arrhythmia can be disturbing to experience, but it is treatable and rarely poses an immediate threat to life.
