Do abnormal heart rhythms decrease blood delivery?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: It depends on the type of dysrhythmia and the rate. For example, atrial fibrillation with a heart rate in the 70-80s may cause no symptoms at all. A rate in the 150's may decrease blood pressure because there is not adequate time for the heart to fill between beats. A heart rate lower than 30 may cause a low blood pressure because the slow rate. Symptoms often relate to total cardiac output.

Potentially: The pumping of the heart is the mechanism by which blood is delivered throughout the body. If a abnormal heart rhythm affect what is known as the cardiac output, it can definitely affect the delivery of blood throughout the body. Thank you for the question.
