Answer preview

There are several environmental, lifestyle, and biological factors that cause arrhythmias. In their article, John Hopkins Medicine notes that exercise may reduce or increase the onset of arrhythmias among people predisposed to the disease. Their study found that people who engaged in rigorous exercise after had an onset of the disease as early as age 30 while those who did little to no excise delayed the onset to age 40. Biological factors like genes can also lead to arrhythmias. A healthy individual with the genetic mutation for Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) has a higher risk of developing arrhythmias than those who do not. As such, patients with a family health history of the disease need to take precautionary measures early enough in life.
