AB  - Susceptibility  to  arrhythmias  may  result  from  genetic  abnormalities  or  acquired  structural  heart  disease.  Susceptibility  may  be  increased  by  electrolyte  abnormalities,  hormonal  imbalances  (thyrotoxicosis,  hypercatecholaminergic  states),  hypoxia,  medication  effects  (such  as  QT  interval  prolongation  or  changes  in  automaticity,  conduction,  and  refractoriness),  and  myocardial  ischemia.  Ongoing  research  has  provided  important  information  on  the  genetic  basis  of  arrhythmias  and  knowledge  in  this  arena  is  expanding  rapidly.  Most  arrhythmias  can  be  classified  as  (1)  disorders  of  impulse  formation  or  automaticity,  (2)  abnormalities  of  impulse  conduction,  (3)  reentry,  and  (4)  triggered  activity.
