Multiple and complex: Generally broken down into too fast (tachycardia) and too slow (bradycardia). Brandy arrhythmias are either problems with impulse formation or conduction. Tachy arrhythmias are divided by chamber of origin, upper vs lower. Upper chamber is termed svt and lower chamber termed vt.
