Arrhythmia
Cardiac arrhythmia are disruptions in the natural rhythm of the heartbeat and are normally caused by improper functioning of the electrical system cells in the heart. There are different kinds of arrhythmia. Palpitations are a feeling of a pounding heartbeat. Tachycardia is an abnormal increase in the resting heartbeat. Bradycardia is the opposite an abnormally slow heart rate. Ectopic beats are premature beats often felt as "skipped beats". Flutter and fibrillation are situations in which the normal steady beating become rapid twitching of the heart muscle. 
Nutrient / Supplement   Helpful Notes
L-Carnitine   Helps in the transporting of long chain fatty acids, aiding in the prevention of heart disease, high blood pressure, and other cardiovascular disease. Great when combined with a omega fatty acid and flax seed supplement.
Coenzyme Q10   Increases oxygenation to the heart; shown to prevent recurrences in people who have had a heart attack.
Magnesium   Low intake of magnesium has been linked to high blood pressure and may also help with arrhythmia. A good source of magnesium is a quality multi-vitamin & mineral supplement, especially one with calcium, zinc, and garlic.
Calcium   Important for proper functioning of the cardiac (heart) muscle and a companion to magnesium (see above).
Omega Fatty Acids   Important for reducing blood pressure and increasing blood circulation as well as a preventative aid for general heart health. Fatty acids are found in omega fatty acids from fish and flax and borage seed oils from plants.
Vitamin C   Vitamin C helps high blood pressure, hypertension, heart, and cardiovascular problems by improving adrenal function. Can be taken in a good multi-vitamin and mineral supplement.
Multi-vitamin   Vitamin B complex, inositol, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin E all serve to help lower blood pressure and help with regular heartbeat; good for people who have arrhythmia problems.
Potassium   Needed for electrolyte balance, especially if you take blood pressure medication.
Selenium   Low intake of this mineral has been linked to heart disease and cardiovascular problems like arrhythmia. A good source for selenium is a natural multi-vitamin with complete mineral supplementation.

Garlic

   Garlic has been shown to help lower high blood pressure and help with other cardiovascular disease.
