Answer:

Arrhythmia can be described as irregular heart beat, when the heart of a person is beating either too quickly of too slowly, with irregular rhythms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The major risk factor associated with digoxin-induced arrhythmias is death.

New research has shown that people who have arrhythmias taking the drug digoxin may increase the risk of dying by more than 20 percent.
