What Are The Complications Of Tuberous Sclerosis?

Dysrhythmia

When there are growths in the heart, there can be cardiovascular issues like blood flow blockage or dysrhythmia. These complications most commonly occur in infants. Dysrhythmia is the medical term for problems with the heart's rhythm. While some dysrhythmias are harmless, others can be life-threatening without treatment. When the heart beats too quickly, the condition is called tachycardia, and when it beats too slowly, the condition is called bradycardia. The heart might also have an irregular mix of tachycardia and bradycardia. The most common type of dysrhythmia is atrial fibrillation. This causes the heart's upper chambers to fibrillate. They beat irregularly and rapidly, causing the blood not to be pumped efficiently to an individual's body.
