Is it serious if your heart stops after a few beats?

Whether the heartbeat stops after a few beats is serious or not is related to its etiology. The feeling of heart stopping may be related to sinus arrest, atrial pre-systole, ventricular pre-systole, and atrioventricular block. A few heartbeats and a pause in the heartbeat should be timely to the hospital, timely diagnosis and treatment, so as to avoid adverse consequences.
1. Sinus arrest: that is, the sinus node can not produce impulses, may occur in the sinus node degeneration and fibrosis, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disease. If it is accompanied by organic lesions, it is more serious.
2. Atrial pre-systole: that is, pre-systole produced by any part of the atrium outside the sinus node, which can occur in normal people, but also in patients with coronary heart disease, pulmonary heart disease and other diseases. The severity of the disease is mild.
3. Ventricular pre-systole: the pre-systole that occurs below the Hirschsprung’s bundle can occur in both normal people and cardiac patients. It can occur in both normal and cardiac patients. It is more serious when accompanied by organic lesions.
4. Atrioventricular block: impulse conduction between the atria and the ventricles is impaired. Second-degree type I block can occur in normal people, while second-degree type II block and third-degree block occur in cardiac patients and are more serious.
It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time, after a clear diagnosis under the guidance of the doctor to carry out standardized treatment, so as to avoid delays in the condition.
